Will the authorities ever learn what causes those Subterranean Hayle Stink Blues?
By Graham Smith
It is hardly news that much of West Cornwall is built on top of old mine workings. What makes this old news interesting in 2019 is the reluctance of a host of regulatory and commercial organisations to properly investigate, or understand, the consequences. read more »

The Angarrack Stream
The Angarrack Stream flows into Copperhouse Pool and is tidal to Phillack. Flood risks are significant in the area around Marsh Lane and Loggans Mill roundabout, where the A30 is particularly vulnerable, and along the built up area between the roundabout and Copperhouse Pool. At times of high flow in the Angarrack Stream the Environment Agency pumps water from the pumping station upstream of Marsh Lane to further downstreamon the Angarrack River. read more »

Copperhouse gate refurbishment will ensure Hayle continues to be protected from flooding
This autumn the Environment Agency will carry out refurbishment work on the Copperhouse Gate.
The gate is a critical part of the Angarrack Flood Alleviation Scheme which provides flood protection to 138 properties in the Copperhouse area of Hayle. The refurbishment will ensure that the existing level of flood defence is maintained for a further 30 years.
Work will be carried out by Environment Agency contractors BMMJV and will begin this November. Refurbishment of the gate will take approximately 7 weeks and during this time an area of the North Quay will not be accessible to the public. read more »

Extract from FLOOD RISK AND DRAINAGE ASSESSMENT FOR SHELL HAYLE AT CARWIN RISE , HAYLE , CORNWALL report
3.0 FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT
3.1 Assessment Approach
This assessment aims to minimise any impact of the development on flood risk through
adequate consideration of flooding issues and the inclusion of appropriate mitigation.
3.2 Fluvial Flood Risk
The development area, because of its proximity to a main river, is considered to be at
risk of fluvial flooding despite the presence of flood defences in the form of bunds that
have been constructed along both banks of the main river.
The map showing the local main rivers and other watercourses in the area is provided
in Appendix G. read more »
