Think it won’t happen to you – Think again – It has happened a number of
times here locally.
For several weeks, residents have asked me about ‘when’ will the road swepper clear up the ‘rotting leaf’ mess….. There is no point in sweeping ealier, as it would have to come back again, so once ‘most’ of the leaves have fallen – around he comes and I have to complement todays ‘Sweeper’ he did the corner opposite our bungalow 3 times where the soggy leaves were 6 inches deep – all gone – thanks…..
Yes we know leaves and debris end up in drains – again Anglian Water are pretty good at ‘Flushing’ the system about this time of year.
We Councillors are aware of the damage done at the Manor Field this weekend when a Swimming Gala was held and Freedom Leisure (Not Fenland Council) allowed vehicle access to the grassed area behind the Manor Leisure Centre.
I have had several communication both with residents and Fenland District Council.
Had FDC had been aware of the event, they have stated they would NOT have given permission for the area to be used.
‘We’ are now have to wait until the weather allows a full assessment and remediation, probably springtime.
There being No Projects meeting and a lot of Planning applications….
The meeting time has been brought forward – 18:30
