In North Shields this week we have started ground investigation works after a report of possible mining related damage to two homes. Due to access issues it was necessary to use a crane to deliver a drilling rig to the back garden of one of the properties so that ground samples can be taken and examined to see if the cause of the damage is due to historical mining in the area. We have also installed monitoring equipment at the properties to provide reassurance to the residents. We would like to thank local residents for their patience and understanding whilst the drilling rig was being delivered. Our Public Safety and Subsidence Team respond to hundreds of similar incidents every year. If you suspect a mining hazard, please contact our 24/7/365 Hazard Line on 0800 288 4242.

Post-flooding survey (December 5-8th 2024 and January 1-7th 2025 ) The Environment Agency issued a number of Flood Warnings and Flood Alerts across parts of Yorkshire in early December 2024 and early January 2025. We have a duty to warn and inform for river, coastal and tidal flooding, which we do through the Flood Warning Service. An important part of this service is to ensure that the Flood Alerts and Flood Warnings are issued as accurately as possible and we are providing communities with valuable time to prepare for flooding. Where possible we work closely with our North Yorkshire Council partners to share post flood information and to gather on-the-ground information. However, we are still keen to provide this opportunity for feedback in order to improve accuracy of the Flood Warnings. Therefore, if you have been affected by flooding, or live within or close to a Flood Warning Area, we would like to ask you to complete the survey below.
