It was a difficult time for so many people across our area.
Today plans for flood defences in part of the city will be on show. The Environment Agency is spending £45m in the city to try and prevent a repeat of the 2015 floods.
Here's what they want to do:
- A new flood defence to the rear of the Memorial Gardens to reduce the risk of flooding to properties on Wellington Row, North Street, Rougier Street and George Hudson Street via flood water flowing across Station Avenue
- Flood defences within the Royal Mail depot to reduce the risk of flooding on Leeman Road
- Raising the existing flood gate under Lendal Bridge
- Improvements to the resilience of the existing wall at Park Inn Hotel
- Raising the existing flood wall and flood gates along Wellington Row/North Street
- The Environment Agency wants to hear what you think about them.
You can see the plans and have your say at the Environment Agency's Hub on Wellington Row from 10:00 - 19:00.
