Flood information centre set to open in Leeds

A public flood information centre will officially open in the Kirkstall area of Leeds today to provide flood information and advice to homeowners and businesses at risk of flooding.

The centre will be officially opened by Leader of Leeds City Council, Councillor Judith Blake.

The Team Kirkstall Regeneration Hub has been set up by Phil Marken of Open Source Arts Ltd and Kirkstall Regen Ltd, the Environment Agency, Leeds City Council and BAM Nuttall, who are working in partnership to deliver a flood alleviation scheme for the city.

It will act as a focal point for residents and businesses in Kirkstall, giving them easy access to information on the flood scheme, flood resilience advice and provide an opportunity for them to share their local knowledge and aspirations for the area to help shape the future of the scheme.

Staff from the Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme project team will be at the centre Monday 12pm - 5pm and Wednesday 9am - 2pm.
