Huge quantities of leaves at this time of year gather in the gutter on the corner. I live at 374 Woodstock rd and very frequently unblock the drain with a rake and shovel because of the flooding on the corner. I did this yesterday so it is now clear hence no photos submitted This flooding will happen again because the gutter for several metres leading to the drain is full of leaves. Is there going to be any gutter sweeping now that trees have shed their leaves ? If there has already been gutter sweeping in Blandford Ave they certainly did not do the Woodstock rd end of Blandford Ave. I would appreciate some action on this. From. Carol Buckland Householder 374 Woodstock rd.
