I reported long-term flooding problems across the highway on the A1086 Coast Road at Chicken's Green, Blackhall last month (see post dated 27 September 2012).
The highways drainage engineer confirmed with me today that there have been problems in the area caused by a build up of debris and silt in a highway drainage manhole at the front of St Joseph's RC church and that this takes several gullies in the area.
A specialist contractor is required to clear the area and works are expected to begin on site within the next week or two.
