Clearly we won't know for certain that works have been fully successful but the engineer's report appears positive enough. We'll sit tight now and wait for heavy downpours over the winter months to test his optimism!
We have copied the engineer's comments below for your information:
Here is my update for the above. Works in this area are now
complete.
A new connection has been constructed from the Coast Road highway drainage to a culverted watercourse in Chickens Green.
During the investigation it was discovered that the highway
drainage which serves in excess of 800m of the coast road connected to an non
operating soakaway near the Chicken’s Green Play Area. This resulted in
regular flooding at the lower areas mainly around the junction of the B1281 and
Emerson Court.
Following the completion of the works there have been no
reported flooding of the highway in this area.
