Corner of morley drive and biddulph road
Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 5967386.
Drainage. I've been complaining about this for years now. 2015 I was advised an additional drain was to be installed, but this goes way back; its been an on-going issue since the road was re-surfaced. The existing gully is clearly not up to the job and despite assurance that there is no problem, here we are again. Surface water from the railway flyover carries with it road grit that’s applied in winter and the excess water from the flooding flows into Morley Drive along with the grit. That in turn blocks the drain in Morley Drive and we are faced with an enormous pool of standing water.
My boundary wall has been damaged twice now, the standing water on the corner causing vehicles turning in to lose control. The wall can be repaired, but not pedestrians.
Following my last complaint: 08/02 I received an update ‘in progress’ 09/05 another update ‘no further action’ May I ask, when can we expect this to be resolved?
