"To ask the Manager to address the issue of the  collapse of the river bank and the future maintenace of the Owendore River along Willbrook Road at that section backing onto the houses on Glenbrook Park.  The walls have been washed away and numerous large trees are  growing out of the river banks, which in turn are undermining garden walls and the foot bridge. In particular at the location of an old weir to the rear of 45 Glenbrook Park the river bank is seriously undermined and poses a risk to the public road (Willowbrook Road).  There needs to be an assessment of that complete stretch of river, not just the damaged foot bridge to see what remedial work now could be done to avoid serious damage during the next “24^th October” type flood.  This is serious?"
