Tamworth sits at the confluence of the rivers Tame and Anker, a position that has shaped the town's development since Saxon times. This riverside location creates specific drainage challenges, as the water table is naturally high in many parts of the town and the risk of surface water flooding is elevated during heavy rainfall.
The older parts of Tamworth around the castle grounds, Church Street, and Colehill have drainage systems that reflect the town's long history. Victorian and Edwardian properties in areas like George Street and the town centre often have original clay pipe drainage that requires careful maintenance.
Newer residential areas including Dosthill, Belgrave, Glascote, and Wilnecote have more modern drainage infrastructure, but the proximity to watercourses and the clay-heavy local soils mean that drainage issues can still occur. The Fazeley area, where the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal meets the River Tame, has particularly complex drainage considerations.
A commercial property in Tamworth town centre called us after experiencing repeated flooding during heavy rain. Our investigation revealed that the property's surface water drainage was connected to an undersized Victorian combined sewer that could not cope with modern rainfall volumes. We installed a new separate surface water system with attenuation storage, which resolved the flooding problem and reduced the load on the public sewer.
