Flooding Returns to “The Square” New Invention

Flooding came back to the service road alongside the Co-op at “The Square”, Lichfield Road, New Invention, so we’ve got back onto the council asking for them to resolve the problem.

I can almost predict the responses.

“What do you expect, it rained all day.” Well it does doesn’t it, especially during what is euphemistically called the “summer” these days. Even so pedestrians shouldn’t have to wade through flood water to get to the shops should they!

“The rain was particularly heavy, you can expect some flash flooding.” Flash flooding goes way, this hasn’t, it was still there at 10pm last night!

So Walsall council if you are reading this (as I suspect that you are) please, please admit there is a  real issue here and do something  permanent about it. I really don’t want to have to keep reporting this issue to you.
