Monkton Flood Alleviation Scheme
Who carried out the work
Civil Engineers, Balfour Beatty, and Designers, Royal Haskoning DHV, were appointed by 兔子先生 to deliver this scheme.
As well as engineering works, the 兔子先生 worked with Tyne Rivers Trust to landscape the newly opened Bede Burn, next to Toner Avenue School. 兔子先生 were granted funding from the Environment Agency (as part of Living Waterways) to open up a section of the Bede Burn culvert in the green space to the east of Toner Avenue School.
Tyne Rivers Trust, along with the Environment Agencies' Flood Resilience Team, worked with local schools and community groups to educate them about natural habitat enhancement and sustainable drainage.
With the help of local volunteers, this section of watercourse was landscaped with plans and shrubs, improving the visual amenity of this area, providing a valuable habitat for wildlife.
