85, 83 81 high street clophill opposite primary school
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 412580.
Having lived here for over 10 years we have never had bad flooding as this!
THE CAUSE - council have created a dam across the road by putting in a raised traffic calming pedestrian crossing opposite the school!!!!!!!
Not that it makes any difference as parents dropping their children off park both sides of the road in spite of these measures!
So the people it was intended too help are the worse culprits!!!!
Certainly support the traffic calming measures but it was unnecessary to raise the road!!!!
The gully is silted again only having been emptied a month so it doesn’t help drain the water and because of the dam water now sits outside our drives Impacting us further!
ACTION - SOLUTION add two 100mm channels with grills, one either side of the Road to allow storm water flow to carry on naturally down the road.
Many thanks appreciate other needs are more important!
