00:00Development plans for the 37 Sports and Social Club at Loverose Way
00:04between Puritan and Willavington have been delayed
00:07while flood risk and drainage assessments are completed for the new facility.
00:12The proposal include demolishing the two-storey club on Willavington Road
00:16and rebuilding it with features like a bar, cafe, snooker tables and skittle alleys.
00:22The delay stems from the Environment Agency and Somerset Council's drainage experts
00:27requesting additional information to ensure the new venue
00:30will not exacerbate local surface water flooding.
00:34Ian Gray, Programme Director for the Gravity Zone,
00:37confirms flood risk and drainage strategy is approved
00:40and expects compliance soon, allowing the new club to be built.
