In progress
Kettle lane, just past oak tree farm entrance, going towards Kinsey Heath left hand side
Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6919970.
The farmer has dug a channel from his field, ( not a grip, there is no drain) to use the public road to drain their field. The flood waters is not only damaging the road surface but as none of the drains are working. (Not maintained) the flooding g is continuing on to woore Rd causing major flooding. Last night a car hit the lamp post & damaged same & our hedge row. Luckily the occupants are lucky to be alive. Will it take someone's death for you to take action ? We usually put flood signs up but are not in the country, it is not our responsibility to sort out drainage that ultimately you are responsible for. Please action before it's to late. We are considering legal action as are established garden is being ruined by hgv's & cars forcing all the water onto our property.

The investigation we have done so far has identified that we need to carry out more work to either better understand or resolve this problem. We have added this location to our drainage improvement programme list. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with a timescale of works as they will be prioritised based on risk and available budget. Changes might need to be made if we need to prioritise other works due to emergencies or weather events.
In the meantime, if there is any immediate threat to the property or highways safety requiring an emergency response then we ask that this is telephoned through to the team on 0300 123 5020 between 8:30am – 5:00pm or outside of these hours, contact our out of hours team on 0300 123 5025.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
