- Cllr Weatherill reported on the flood group and drains. Cllr Weatherill had talked about the problem of flooding with a BANES senior engineer /showed him the locations of the flooding issues. This resulted in him agreeing to:-
- Put the flooding on the dip in the road towards Bishop Sutton on the highest priority level for clearing / action in the case of flooding.
- Use camera’s in the most problematic flooding sites to see if there are blockages and clear as appropriate.
- Investigate ways to alleviate flooding problems in both the short, medium and long term. One issue that had been noted was a change in the camber of Ridge Lane in several places after resurfacing which has resulted in water passing several large drains. (Has to be a long term fix). Short to medium fixes could include the introduction of kerb stones / larger drains in several locations in order to alleviate the issue of lifting drain covers and flooding in/around village.
