Last month we reported persistent problems caused by surface water on the corner of Fifth Street and Hardwick Court in Blackhall Colliery (please see post dated Sunday 13 March 2016 for background information).

Surface water on the corner of Fifth Street and Hardwick Court

We received an update earlier this week from the drainage department at county hall telling us that initial investigations point to a gully problem at the top of Fifth Street.

We have been assured that the council's gully motor will be in the area next week and will take a closer look at the problem.
