Flooding fears put question mark over affordable homes on former primary school site

Flooding fears put question mark over affordable homes for former Lostock Hall Primary School site

Preston-based social housing provider Community Gateway Association - which is behind the proposal, in conjunction with Westchurch Homes - argued that the infrastructure it was planning to install would actually improve the current situation.

”It’s always the case that when we get heavy rain, we start watching the drain, we start seeing the rising water -- and we worry [about whether] this time it's going to come into our house. He also noted the history of flooding in the Avondale Drive area, adding: “It is justifiable for the committee to question the data the LLFA and others are putting forward to you, because it might be flood zone 1 - but it clearly floods.

Ms. Jones added: “The scheme would therefore utilise the infrastructure to the west of the site and take drainage away to the west - [that’s] away from the roads to the east and south east, which…have experienced previous issues. She also stressed that there would be no connection to the drainage system on the Wilkinson Street side of the development.
