    There are 3 drains blocked on this road. This is the one that causes all the flooding that splashes the primary school children as they walk to school

  • We are due another massive storm (Éowyn) and this has still not been fixed, and no update has been provided. This is one of the main issues of the flooding that has blighted the village in the past few months.

    Still not fixed and the latest reasonable rain shows how bad it could be with a proper storm.

  • More heavy rain this morning. The road is so badly flooded that it is now higher than the pavement level and it is impossible to distinguish between road and pavement. This needs attention immediately!!
