As per previous report. These drains need clearing and upgrading. If the lake remains, our hallway is at risk and it is the responsibility of highways to manage water dispersal. This may not be a priority #1 given the situation, but the cause is inaction when the weather was kinder. Please get this fixed ASAP. It is a priority just not the top one … are the council liable for damage for failure to resolve the problem?

Thank you for contacting us with information relating to a Highways issue. We plan to inspect the site during the next instance of significant rainfall (that takes place during working hours) and decide on the best course of action.
This weeks flooding and overflowing gullies are largely the result of extreme weather and the drainage systems all exceeding capacity, rather the drains themselves being blocked. If your road is flooded, please call the emergency hotline number.
We will continue to monitor the area in a more moderate amount of rainfall and assess at that stage if drains are blocked and if remedial works are requiredState changed to: In progress
