Action on Street Flooding

There has been an on-going problem with water gathering in the street gulley at the junction of Alexandra Road and Albert Road and although the water has been visited a number of times by council staff with the surface water being “drawn off” the carriageway, the problem has remained. The latest request for action by Cllr Sue McGuire has prompted the drainage team to undertake further investigation of the area using CCTV.
As a result it has been established that there is a blockage caused by invading tree roots. Work to clear this has now been undertaken.


Work is also scheduled to take place shortly to correct the drainage problem along Fleetwood Road

Bench repaired on Albert Road

Following action by Councillor Sue McGuire, the bench on Albert Road, by the bus stop, has been repaired and repainted.

As Sue explained “This bench was in a very poor state but there was little money available to replace it with a brand new one so I asked the council to try to renovate it.”

Sue added “I think more and more people now understand that recycling and then reusing equipment makes a lot of sense.”
