Homes Being Evacuated in West Didsbury Due To Risk Of Flooding.

Luckily near parswood/ didsbury there’s lots of fields and flood plains to soak the water up.

the new airport road on the other hand is flooded again… floods every time there is a bit of rain. Whoever built it did a terrible job.

That new road is so badly designed. Not sure if the pumps aren't strong enough or what but that floods whenever there's a tiny bit of rain nevermind after a storm.

The M60 opened with "Road liable to flooding' signs before the first vehicle got its tyres wet!
 
Didn`t they use to open a sluice and flood Withington golf club to try and lower the river.
They still do, it's why golf courses are all along there plus Sale Water Park. All have sluices to flood the area and its why I smile when I read posters putting stay safe blues. It must be a modern thing !
I doubt anyone in the entire history of the area has even got their feet wet. 20 years ago the river authorities raised the banks by 6 foot !

it’s horrendous. Reading up on it that company that made it went bust half way through it. Not sure where else you could have built that, but it’s in an area that regularly floods.

seems like there is no drainage at all.
 
Mersey is down below the footpaths in West Didsbury.
Not where Im sitting its not, reminds me of last time the river got high and the media made out that west dids was underwater, yes the river is high and a few roads near it might suffer, but the way its reported is that we all sat on our roofs waiting to be saved.
