That the Chief Executive schedules works to be carried out to remove river waste and sediment that has collected beside and reduced the capacity of river culverts in Griffeen Valley Park near areas that flooded in the past prior to remedial works being carried; with rainfall levels increasing due to climate change, lower footpaths regularly unusable and lamp posts in the park close to being under water, these measures appear necessary to avoid unnecessary flood risks.
