Flooding in Stockport

[jrb]

I tried to get to Tesco in Stockport today. Blocked off by the Police.

That’s a brand new apartment development.

If the councils cleared up fallen leaves in Autumn and sucked debris out of all the grids, then the problem would be nowhere near as bad as it is.

Correct. My neighbour has been pleading with MCC to clear the drains of debris and leaves in the avenue. They haven’t. The drains are blocked and the street got flooded last night. MCC have stopped doing the basics, even though they keep on putting up council tax. They are fucking useless. What has Beth Craig been doing since she became MCC leader?

I got onto my local councillors (Oldham) about this in October and then again November and the total lack of them clearing the road gulleys. I’ve been promised it’ll happen in June this year. If properties are under threat of flooding they’ll look at bringing it forward. Joke.

When my dad was a mere whippersnapper, he and his friends used to swim there in the recycled warm water reservoirs which was used to cool the machines

All I see is the fallen leaves getting blown by guys with blowers and not getting picked up. Where do the fallen leaves end up ?

well we were got with this at home in Romiley this morning - the one and only grid being fed by a clark drain right around the back of my property got bunged up by leaves - result was water in the utility room and also in the garage too - whilst not a patch on the dramas others are having and going to have for the next few months, still a ballache to sort it all out this morning!

Do any councils empty the grids anymore, I’m over in Warrington and there are more blocked grids than clear ones, oh and your council tax is going up.fucking bastards.

You can’t blame the council, they are skint. Too busy bailing out FC United!
