Due to building work in Caulcott over the past two years, the culvert on South Street has been crushed by heavy lorries. It has been narrowed so much, that I believe that this contributed to recent flooding in the village (23rd Sept 24), as the culvert couldn't cope with the amount of water. The building work has now been completed, so we would like the culvert to be returned to its original width, please.

  • This issue has still not been fixed. We were told that once all the building work had been completed further down in the village, this issue would be fixed,

    We are now 3 months on and this issue needs remedying as soon as possible.
