Rock Hill works under way

The works to tackle drainage problems on Rock Hill in Well Hill (see posts of 23 February and 13 June) began on Monday.

In one respect, my earlier post was over-optimistic in suggesting that the works would take only a day or two rather than the allotted two weeks. However, I understand from Highways staff that so far all is going smoothly and that completion should be within the scheduled time. I had been in contact with some local residents in the days before work started to try to ensure as good a start as possible.

Hopefully, the combination of the French drain and cleansing of the system will make a significant difference for winters to come.
