    Flood Resilience Project - B4058, Bagstone

    South Gloucestershire Council 21 January 2019 Frequently Asked Questions Flood Resilience Project - B4058, Bagstone Q1) What is the Flood Resilience Project? In 2017 we were successful in applying for £3.35million of government funding, under the Challenge Fund scheme, to make major improvements to drainage systems at nine sites in South Gloucestershire and one site in Bristol. The grant will pay for a package of measures to address long-standing flooding problems at each of the sites and will include the replacement and upgrading of ineffective drainage systems. The works will mean the sites, generally on classified roads, will be able to cope with extreme weather. They will reduce the need for reactive maintenance works and ultimately result in a cost saving for the council. Q2) Where are the nine sites you will be working on in South Gloucestershire? The sites in South Gloucestershire are: 1. A431 (Bath Road) Swineford 2. Church Road & Chapel Road & Camp Road Oldbury on Severn 3. Oldbury Lane Thornbury 4. Beckspool Road Frenchay 5. Abson Road Wick 6. A431 / A4175 Cherry Gardens Road Bitton 7. B4058 (High Street) Winterbourne 8. A420 (High Street) Wick 9. B4058 Bagstone, Rangeworthy Q3) Have you started work already? Yes we started work on our first site, Abson Road, Wick, in May 2018. We have now completed work on the following sites: Abson Road, Wick A431 and A4175 Cherry Garden Road, Bitton A431 Swineford Work is ongoing in the following locations: Beckspool Road, Frenchay High Street, Winterbourne Work is due to start on the A420, Wick on 4 February and B4058, Bagstone on 4 March.
