QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"There has been an ongoing problem with flooding at Boot Road / Commons Road.

(name and address supplied).  Recent heavy rain on August 22  caused inundation of the property again.  There was never a problem with flooding at this location but a blockage further down the line, the addition of more properties to the line and changes to the camber of the road have probably contributed  to this problem which is causing the resident huge stress because of the fact that the property is constantly in danger.  What plans are in place to address this long standing issue?"

REPLY:

The SDCC Drainage Section camera surveyed the surface water pipe network downstream of Boot Road / Commons Road on the 5th September 2017 and found no evidence of a blockage.

Both the SDCC Roads and Drainage Sections have carried out an extensive examination and done works to improve the roads drainage system at this location and it is believed that the problem at the address is a private side issue.

However, we would appreciate if you can provide information regarding the issues at the property such as the route of water onto or within the property or photographs so that we might have a better understanding of the issues involved.
