Possible end to Deal's drain woes
Comments |
Deal's
drainage troubles could soon be a thing of the past now a thorough
investigation has been promised for later this month.
Years of flooding in hot spots like
Albert Road and Sydenham Road will be looked into.
County councillor Julie Rook said
the operation will start on Monday, September 20.
"They will investigate and map the
surface water and Southern Water systems in the problem areas," she
said.
"Once the issues have been
identified and a system and strategy has been agreed, Kent Highways
will apply for road closures to carry out the works which they
envisage will be at least four months for all the sites."
CCTV cameras are being used to
identify the problem. They have already been used to establish
whether the drains are blocked.
Residents in both roads will be
issued with sandbags in case of more flooding.
