Representation ID: 20459

Received: 07/03/2020

Respondent: Mr David Evans

Representation Summary:

Re road flooding outside, 37, 39 Post Office Rd. Twice in the last 5 years following heavy rain the road has flooded but not quite overflowed into the lower properties. However, wash from passing vehicles did affect them, 39 had to dam their garage as water was getting in it. Build on the field opposite and it is likely the problem will be exacerbated.
Scientists are suggesting we reduce animal farming and increase arable farming to help combat climate change so it seems irresponsible to concrete over high quality land when plenty of lower grade land is available.
