Good news as Binks Car Park flooding issues resolved

At the September meeting of the Council, Kevin raised the problem of the flooding at the Binks Car Park.  Just a few weeks later and in response to Kevin’s intervention, work started in the car park.

Whilst the problem was more complicated to resolve that first thought, officials are now confident that the new line put in between the gullies on the east side of the car park and the main sewer pipe have resolved the problem.

Officials have also arranged to resurface the whole of the east side of the carpark.  This will be done over Sundays 29th Oct and Sunday 11th Nov.

The Council has also received a permit application from Bellway Homes who are required to install a large surface water storage tank in the west side of the Binks Carpark. These works are being planned for January 2018. Officials are looking to keep funds aside to allow them to resurface the west side once these works are complete.
