Flood Works Needed on Darkinson Lane

We, the undersigned, petition the county council to prioritise the flood prevention works needed to address the flooding which has resulted in the closure of Darkinson Lane since October 2024.

Flooding related to Storm Ashley, which hit the region on the 20th Oct 2024, led to the closure of Darkinson at the new underpass under Edith Rigby Way. The flooding has made the route impassable for 15 weeks, closing a popular route for walkers, runners, cyclists, horse riders, and locals. Recent communications with Lancashire Highways implies that no work has yet been carried out and no timeframe has been set for the completion of work. This petition aims to apply pressure to Lancashire highways to prioritise a solution to this site.

This ePetition runs from 29/01/2025 to 12/03/2025.
