Flooding at the Mill

Local residents and the Parish Council raised with me concerns about water runoff at Millstone Mews in South Darenth. This has been going on since November.

I took the issue up with Kent Highways officers, who were already investigating the problem. They have identified the runoff as coming from a surface water pumping system which is the responsibility of Dartford Borough Council.

Kent Highways wrote to DBC on 8 March to ask that action be taken within 28 days. As of yesterday at least, the problem persisted. I will continue to monitor the issue to see that it is resolved quickly.
