  Flooding outside 140 Kingsthorpe Grove. The kerbs have been built up so high to cover the tree roots, it’s created a water drainage problem. Requires urgent attention.

  Please see photos above of works carried out. Also accumulated mud and sludge, from water running down the footpath and being trapped outside our gate.

  Issue still unresolved, sludge and water accumulating outside our property, as the tarmaced tree roots are preventing it from draining down the road. Numerous assessments have been carried out, incredibly frustrated with the lack of service from the council. I will be escalating this to top tier complaint.
