RECENT RAIN

This Week the drain behind Wymersley Road hit the media and the West Area Engineers were called in to clear the dyke rear of Wymersley Road from Wold Rd through to the Pumping Station at springhead.
Pumps were also brought in on the Bristol Road area, this has now stopped as the water level has dropped.
No other areas in west have not given concern or been reported.
If any residents have a concern please contact myself Cllr Rouse-Deane or the West Area Team/Customer Service Centre Calvert Lane.
