The problem was reported previously several weeks previously but has not been fixed. Please could you arrange for the drains and gutter along this section of the main street through the village to be siphoned out and cleared to prevent this happening every time it rains. Thank you for your co-operation.

  • Large flooded area again in the same location - leading to overflow down the hillside bringing debris into lake, jeopardising stability of hillside. The drain needs to be cleared URGENTLY!
