MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach's Business

That the Manager report on the measures taken to date, and planned, to prevent a recurrence of the recent flooding at Glenmaroon Road, Glenaulin Road, Culmore Road, The Covert and Oak Court Close.

REPORT:

The Senior Engineer and the Local Inspector in the Drainage Section together with the Road's Overseer met with the residents in Glenmaroon Road where the flooding took place on Wednesday, 16th November 2011, and agreed to look into trying to find a solution to the flooding problems in this area. The flooding in Glenaulin Road was due to sewer choke which has been unblocked. The flooding in the Covert was probably due to blocked gulleys and the Cleansing Section will be asked to have the gulleys in this area cleaned out. The Drainage Section has no reports of flooding on Culmore Road or Oak Court Close but will investigate both locations. 

Further to the above report, the Senior Engineer in the Drainage Section met on site a representative of one of the companies that provides flood barrier gates at 80 Glenmaroon Road on the 29th of November 2011. This entrance was measured up and a quotation to install a flood barrier gate at this location is awaited.
