Flooding updates

Earlier this month we reported on flooding problems in a number of roads around Coalpit Heath.

Following the site meeting, a new drainage pipe will be laid across Ruffet Road and along the footpath to replace the existing stone culvert. Part of the hedge has been removed to enable access and details of the utilites (gas, water, electricity etc) have been requested as these will be needed before the work can be carried out. The site is next on the list after a road closure for a culvert replacement scheduled in Yate next week.

Street Care will be jetting pipes in Serridge Lane to cleanse the drainage system and determine its route.

There were also reports of flooding in Mayshill and the Council's drainage engineer has requested more details from the Fire Brigade.
