Concerns About Flooding?
If any residents of the Yarborough Ward have concerns about the reoccurance of flooding during the latest period of heavy rain I would like to pass on the advice that I have received from NELC – that you should contact the NELC call centre team on 01472313131 or 01472324500 and let them know the location of the problem, and it will be dealt with as soon as possible. If you are not satisfied with the response please let me know and I will ensure that appropriate action is taken.
Officers from NELC have been informed about the state of the drains and gullies in Boulevard Avenue and Yarborough Road, and we have inspected them together. It has been discovered that the drains have been damaged in numerous places. Work is currently taking place on an ongoing basis to clear them as much as possible. A thorough examination is taking place to assess the full extent of the damage and necessary repairs will take place in the near future.
**NELC have rceived more than 60 requests for drains and gullies to be cleaned during the recent period of heavy rain. It has been arranged for a crew to work overnight to clear this work in anticipation of further heavy rain over the next few days.**
