FLOOD DEFENCE WORK TO START SOON

The river did not overflow its banks, he added, and the Agency was not told of the Morris Road incident.

On a happier note, he added, work would soon be starting on the Cliffe flood defence work which would include improving all the culvert flaps in the area.
The first phase of the 2 million project would be to put defences up between the Phoenix Causeway and Harveys Brewery.
