Further flooding issues

I have asked the highways section at county hall for an update on progress in addressing the flooding incidents I have reported recently (see post dated Monday 26 November).

I appreciate that there has been an exceptional level of disruption across the county over the last few days and that priorities will have to be made to clear major trunk roads first. However, a number of key access and transport routes in our area have been affected and I feel that urgent action is needed now in locations including: 


  • Rodridge Hall between Hutton Henry and Station Town
  • Mickle Hill Road at Blackhall Rocks
  • Coast Road at Crimdon
  • Chicken's Green at Blackhall Colliery and 
  • B1281 route from Castle Eden to Blackhall and Hesleden

I will continue to press the relevant authorities to take whatever measures are required and I'll keep residents updated on progress through these posts.
