Tender Approval for Broomes Park Flood Alleviation Scheme (Phase 2)

This report is seeking tender approval for the chosen contractor to deliver the Broomes Park Flood Alleviation Scheme (Phase 2). The tender award is expected to be in excess of £250,000 but less than £400,000.

A number of properties on North Dene Park and Broomes Park, Chadderton, suffer from flooding from surface water runoff and groundwater from adjacent land (an embankment slope).

To positively drain the surface water runoff and groundwater, a new highway drain is proposed. The works will involve the construction of a highway drain along Broomes Park, Hunt Lane, wooded area (south of Ferney Field Road) and the construction of a connection to an existing United Utilities manhole on Ferney Field Road.
