In September 2024 our house flooded due to the storms. This ditch still hasn't been assessed or cleared to help prevent reoccurrence. We're also still unable to live in our home. This drainage ditch and one our side of the road both need clearing however the one opposite in photo especially needs maintenance

  • Still nothing has happened. We're now 12 months post flooding in the area and the weather has started to bring heavy rain again.

    When will this be cleared to allow the culvert to do its job and not damage more homes
