Drains cleared this morning are already full and back flowing and blocking the pavement, forcing pedestrians into the road - this is not a new problem it is a regular occurrence after rain and indicates a bigger local issue. At the moment (17.00hrs on 1 Oct) elderly resident (91 Years) can't enter or leave her home without help of a car. Also the work this morning also left unsightly mounds of earth piled up on the grass verge outside her house.

    Previously blocked drains (recently cleared) flooded again last night (8/9 October) making the pavement wet and slippery. The owners of the Kabab Shop have again made temporary bridge which was left in place overnight making a trip hazard/barrier across the footpath.
