We had the gulley clearers come on my road about a month ago followed by the leaf sweepers. I live close to the bottom of the hill. The grates and gulleys they really needed to get to clean were blocked by parked cars. So now we have a river flowing along the footpath.

Did they give people notice to move their cars several weeks in advance? If so they should have towed them away at the owners expense?

Yes, will check my road later today on the way home and report any blocked ones I spot. As others said though this is not really a suitable remedy for widespread failure to perform adequate regular maintenance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No idea, but in general people are posting videos of flooding in many low lying areas of sheffield today:  https://twitter.com/search?q=Sheffield flood&src=typeahead_click&f=live  Best be careful as it is not forecast to stop raining until early tomorrow morning.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
