Ford Lane River Mersey Car Park Improvement, March 2022

Following damage to the Ford Lane car park caused by the January 2021 and February 2022 storms, a programme of work took place to re-level the ground and eliminate the deep potholes caused by both erosion events.

The Environment Agency took temporary control of the car park to house the machinery required to regrade the banks of the Mersey in order to repair damage to its banks. These works were carried out without cost to the Manchester City Council.

In addition, it was announced that Biffa had confirmed that they would now add the litter bin back to their ordinary collections and this should bring to an end the build-up of litter in the immediate surrounding area.
