Flooding in Stockport

[flook]

A555 near Lakeland (I think), often floods, never seen it anything like this bad though

Distinct lack of “it’s winter” posts in here.

Flooding is about as miserable as it gets for the affected people. Hope they’re all insured and that they get sorted out quickly.

Shite way to start a year.

I use the M60 daily and when it rains it's a death trap, it just holds the water and is lethal in parts.

And that's after they fixed it! To start with it was like a lake.

The airport relief roads floods all the time. Seems like drainage wasn’t thought about and it’s actually causing other areas to flood.

I was told by a retired surveyor, who lives local, that there will always be trouble on that road because it is way below the water level. That was told to me when they were having trouble when building it. Also, the Bramhall roundabout problem never happened like it does now. This is probably caused by the run off from the bypass near Poynton where the holding tanks overflow into the river that flows through Happ Valley to Bramhall park.
Don't shoot the messenger;-)

Sounds about right. Pushing the issue down stream. I don’t remember Bramhall having these flooding issues previously

Surreal, took me a few seconds to register where I was looking at. Horrible for everyone caught up in it all, best wishes to all impacted that the clear up can be done quickly and the insurance companies are not allowed to behave like scumbags.
