    You acknowledge this drain is blocked, yet won't be ordering any work? Why are our drains no longer routinely maintained? Can you please tell me the date they were last cleaned/ serviced.

    I have attached a photo from last October where you can clearly see the drain is having no effect to the water on the road. Yes, the rain was "unprecedented" however you would expect some bubbling from the drain if it was clear. This photo was taken just after the drain was covered by flood water. As a member of a family that are still out of our home nearly a year on due to flood damage, it would be reassuring to know that our drainage systems are being routinely maintained and not left to "deteriorate significantly" before anything is done.

    While I appreciate the flooding was extreme. If the drainage system had been properly maintained, it may have given residence a little more time to place sandbags. Without any means of escape for the water, it will just turn roads into rivers.

    Please reconsider, dismissing this issue!
