  • Whilst the drains have been unblocked the lady that attended on the 14th January, agreed the problem has not been totally rectified as the drains are not sufficient to stop water when excessive rain to flood into my properties. She suggested and said she would report to Kier that during bad weather sand bags should be placed.
