QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor C. King

"To ask the Manager to arrange for further inspections to be carried out on the gulleys at Gibbons Cottages (N81),  as severe flooding is still taking place despite the extensive works carried out at this location recently, with a view to this ongoing problem being resolved for the benefit of particularly the elderly residents living there?"

REPLY:

The area has been inspected by Road Maintenance staff. There is an adequate drainage system in place at this location to cater for road runoff. During the heavy rainfall that was experienced recently, there was a heavy flow of runoff towards the drainage gullies. However the system was capable of dealing with the flow and no runoff from the road entered any of the adjacent properties. Roads Department will continue to monitor this area and necessary maintenance will be carried out as required.
