Money down the blocked drain - nothing else!

Debris from the re-surfacing of Kingsland Road re-blocked the gulleys, just in time for the next cloudburst!

The work on Kingsland Road happened to co-incide with time for the gulleys to be cleaned.

Unfortunately it became a debacle, as just how long it can be between services was demonstrated by this find of construction debris from the building of several houses near Fishery Passageā€¦

The Facebook discussion on Kingsland Road's blocked drain because of resurfacing debris led to people raising drains issues elsewhere in Boxmoor. So, while this was a hot topic, we requested residents flagged up any others, and Cllr Allen mapped over 15 gulleys in Boxmoor.
