There are 'massive concerns' about the bypass being built on a floodplain
Local leaders say they’re ‘nervous’ about making flooding worse if the major A46 Newark bypass road project goes ahead. A special planning meeting held on Monday heard widespread support for the scheme, but also concerns for how it might worsen flooding.
Councillor Emma Oldham said: “I’m incredibly nervous about flooding. That area is one of the first places to go , you can see the water rising close to the roads.” Areas around Newark and the Trent Valley suffered from severe flooding last winter due after Storm Babet and Henk brought downpours. If approved, construction on the bypass would begin next year and would be complete by 2029.
Councillor Linda Dales also warned of “looming” housing developments in the area which could coincide with construction. “If the road is already snarled up, there’s not a Plan B,” she said.
