High tides have not been able to be kept at bay nor water levels maintained inside the port’s inner dock at low tide
Repairs and emergency sea flood defence plans are under way at a Lancashire port where the commissioners who govern it want extra powers from the government.
READ MORE: Lancashire's flood-risk village that needs more pubs and bars to stop risk of being left behind The Environment Agency says high tides are expected at the end of August and beginning of September. It and the port commission are working on plans for temporary work to the sea gate to manage the flood risk. The plan is to ensure that the temporary fix gives the same level of flood protection as usually provided by the closed sea gate.
However, the port commission has strong rejected this. It has defended its work, accountability, public engagement and its governance structure. A public consultation process about the harbour order was launched by the national Marine Management Organisation in July. It ends on September 6. Coun Sally Maddocks, a councillor for Glasson Dock, is behind the request to the committee. Earlier this summer, she raised questions about Glasson Dock and the accountability of the port commission’s self-governing structure.
