Queens Drive flooding report published

Liverpool City Council has published a Section 19 investigation report into flooding events on Queens Drive in 2023.

It follows an incident on 26 August 2023, in which Elaine and Philip Marco tragically died when their car became trapped in water.

Under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, the Council has a duty to investigate incidents of flooding that are considered to be ‘locally significant’.

The report was commissioned with engineering firm Mott Macdonald as an independent party, and has now been shared with relevant parties and published.
