dink   10 #2 Posted November 29, 2009 Maybe the council have sorted out all the blocked/shoddy drains that didnt help Sheffield last time we flooded, so maybe nowhere would flood??  Me hoping anyway. . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just my view though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It goes in to the Don. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just my view though.  I did contact SCC a year or so ago to complain about blocked drains chucking loads of rainwater out, and mentioned the floods of a few years ago and asked whether they hadn't learned from that. They replied to say that on analysis, blocked drains hadn't been a significant factor in that flooding. And I guess Longcol is right, they just drain into the Don anyway.

dink   10 #11 Posted November 29, 2009 Where do you think the water in the drains goes? It goes in to the Don.  Maybe so but if the drains are blocked it cant can it! and it just collects and floods the roads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
