The water from the roadside blockage has been seeping down for a good few monty but has changed to a strong flow this morning 21st January at 11:00 am sending road run off water down the embankment flooding the footpath below and into the freshwater pond. Erosion and fracture of the embankment is a worry as is contamination from the road passing into the fresh water habitat of Keston Pond and the River Ravens Bourne catchment.
