WOTCESTERSHIRE: Club looks for a new alternative road rather than replacement
“While we have successfully adapted to floods for many yearsIt is becoming increasingly unmanageable, “said Giles.
“Every season, we face a greater disturbance, a significant financial tension and assembly barriers to investments in our structures.
“We have explored every possible option. This work has focused on two key areas: first, what options to mitigate or prevent floods, including potential redevelopment and secondly, what alternatives are available if we were to consider an additional location to protect the future of the club.
“While our investigations on an additional place remain ongoing, we continue to work closely with a company respected internationally to evaluate the critical issues of what, where, how and when, for use together to visit the new road to Warcestrshire.”
Giles added that the club analysis focused on two possible approaches: “Learning to live” with water or try to stop it completely.
He stressed that the member of long -standing workershire and the resident flood expert Andrew Thomas had provided the club with detailed registers dating back to 2002.
“Your data, supported by the statistics of the Environmental Agency, show that flood accidents have increased both in frequency and gravity,” said Giles.
“The financial impact is considerable, which covers the costs of cleaning floods, transfers to places such as Kidderminster, the revenues lost by the sales of food and drinks and the wider commercial impact of the reduction of the trust of the offices. Furthermore, the redevelopment is subject to significant restrictions.
“In addition to the financial and regulatory challenges, our game and practical structures are facing long -term deterioration due to the ongoing floods. Expert assessments indicate that all shots require a complete reconstruction, a process that may require up to a decade to finish.”
