Work to determine the best means of repairing the sluice gate at Beckingham Marshes is continuing. The project will continue to progress measures to implement remedial works to uphold the standards of the Reservoir Act 1075.
A single stage business case is being developed which is aimed at reviewing, repairing, or potentially replacing a dewatering structure that is coming to the end of its life. investigation works and analysis are ongoing and supporting the funding allocation by outlining costs

The project team worked hard to develop the project appraisal and completed the Outline Business Case in January. This business case is being revised based on new information and construction is now likely to begin in 2027. However, the economic business case for the project is likely to remain very robust as it reduces flood risk to around 1300 properties.
Both the project Steering Group and Resilience Advisory Group are being kept informed and North Lincolnshire Council will be approached for a contribution towards developing the Full Business Case. The project team continues to explore options to reduce costs.

Over the winter months, works were paused to protect the nearby sensitive habitats within the estuary. The project team have continued to work with the consultants and the contractors to refine and coordinate all the activities involved in increasing resilience to the river outfalls. This has included further modelling to determine the best arrangement for Oldfleet Drain overflow system, and other required water control structures. The Marine Licence to desilt the foreshore has been granted by the Marine Management Organisation (MMO).

Much work has also been undertaken to determine the best way to access New Cut Drain outfall, given the additional challenges of contaminated ground and the major sewers crossing the existing access point. Now that the necessary agreements, consents and planning elements are in place, work is being carried out via a staged approach to construct the access and enable inspections to take place before refurbishment begins later this year.
Minor rock armour enhancements have been completed in four locations along the revetment and environmental enhancement opportunities continue to be explored.
