This overflowing drain on Buckingham Way has now been running for several months, it creates a constant sheet of water about 1inch thick at junction with Swinneyford Rd, which is a busy location due to nearby Ambulance station, bus route, pedestrian crossing, primary school, health centre and local shop . It is not acceptable that such a situation has been left unresolved for months, putting public lives at risk as the street wide sheet of running water is likely to turn to ice at the first drop in temperature, which actually happened recently. The problem has been recurring and reported over the past at least 3 winters to no avail. The road surface will soon also suffer damage and potholes will appear, adding to the danger and mayhem at the junction, as well as avoidable extra repair costs, at the expense of the local tax payers. Do we have to actually have to suffer a serious accident and personal injury for some effective action to be taken by NCC?
