There is a natural spring higher up Dark Lane causing water to cascade down the road. This is especially so when it rains and the water table rises. The water cannot run off into the drains at the bend in Dark Lane because the drains there - there are two - are blocked and one is vrtually covered in earth. This causes the water to pool and is dangerous to traffic and pedestrians. This has been like this for as long as I have been living here, approx 10 months.

  • Initially reported on the 10th May It was good to hear that you would be rectifying this issue "within the next month" as part of your "cyclic cleansing programme". I am sorry to say that it is now July and nothing has been done. Was the cyclic programme not undertaken or is the next month some other time? If you would like to discuss this you can call me on 07767672112 - David McLoughlin Many thanks
