Extracts from the above document Re:River Jordan:
A small number of reported incidences in 1967 and 1992. Roads,
gardens and houses.
1967 – 1 reported incident location flooding once a year
One other record stating ‘periodic’ flooding at Aigburth Road
1992 – Approx. 2 incident locations
Additional description from 1989 study:
Flooding has occurred between Aigburth Vale and Ashfield Road.
Whilst the primary drainage functions has been transferred to a
nearby sewer, the overflow from Sefton Park boating lake still
follows the line, in culvert of the original river channel.
Sefton Park Lake to Jericho Court considered to have some
structural defects (3), with the exception of one point which
was considered to have serious structural defects (4). The
remainder of the Jordan River towards the River Mersey is
considered to have serious structural defects (4), with one
section collapsed (5).
