Ongoing problem- Highways first came here at least 30 years ago- every heavy downpour part of Foliat Drive is flooded; cars forced onto pavements. Rain and wash from cars causes water to run down to porch and side of number 62. Sandbags have been issued. One drain was replaced when Old Courts were built but that is not sufficient. Drains needed on opposite side outside 62-54. Drain outside Stonebury Close is blocked.

Council ref: ENQ241017257
