Measures to tackle standing water in Middle Street, Blackhall Colliery

Following complaints received recently about standing water and associated incidents of flooding at the Co-op store in Middle Street, Blackhall Colliery we asked the highways section at county hall to take whichever measures were required to address the problem.

We have received confirmation this morning that the drains and gullies at the gable end of the building, opposite the RAFA club, have been cleared to enable any excess water to drain away.

We have also asked that the road surface immediately outside the main door entrance to the store be leveled off to prevent any excess standing rainwater washing into the store when disturbed by passing traffic. We have been assured that this will be done as soon as possible.
