This matter has been the subject of a comprehensive report
by an Engineer appointed jointly by all the Authorities concerned
and the scheme submitted was the subject of a Public Enquiry
by an Inspector of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government
towards the end of the year.
It is hoped that as a result there will be a speedy solution
to this recurring nuisance.
From time to time local flooding takes place at other points
in the District in periods of heavy rainfall and these matters are
receiving consideration.
