Rainwater does not drain away on Honeybottom Lane on both sides of the road., creating potentially dangerous problem. There are no drainage channels and the drain is elevated. Additionally, the gully taking the stream under the roadway is blocked (adjacent to 76 Honeybottom Lane). Both these situations have been reported previously, but with no successful outcome.

  • Flooding still exactly the same after 4 days, even with little rain since 16/12. The road is undulating on both sides, and therefore needs a parallel channel cutting to the north edge and the short channels cutting on the south edges (at right angles) to enable rainwater to drain away.

    On closer inspection today, there is water COMING UP THROUGH THE ROAD between 76 and 76A Honeybottom Lane. This is why the rainwater is not draining away. Can the appropriate authority please inspect, action and rectify very soon.

  • In response to your enquiry and the numerous others we have received regarding the recent flooding and associated drainage issues. We understand the inconvenience and distress that such incidents can cause, and we appreciate your patience as we work to address these concerns. Our team has been working diligently to assess the situation and implement necessary measures to mitigate the impact of flooding. However, due to the volume of enquiries and the complexity of the issues at hand, we have been unable to address each individual report.

    Therefore, after much thought we have decided to close down reports relating to drainage matters during the winter months as after investigating the data it was apparent that many of the fixmystreet reports/issues were caused by the sheer volume of rainwater that fell meaning that the drainage system was unable to cope due to ground water saturation. We are aware of many areas across the county where flooding occurred and are currently working in conjunction with district and parish council towards addressing these issues.

    If you feel your enquiry does not fall within the scope of the above, please raise a new report with a detailed description including photos where possible/ safe to do so via www.fixmystreet.comhttp://www.fixmystreet.com.

    We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Rest assured; we are committed to resolving these issues as quickly as possible.
