Update on Swanley flooding

Residents in Pinks Hill and other neighbouring roads such as Waylands were once more affected by flooding overnight and into today. I visited the area again during the late morning to see the state of the problem.

On Friday afternoon, the Highways Agency told me that they had a gulley sucker on standby for the area, and I know that both HA and Kent Highways staff were in attendance during the night. Nonetheless, the impact on residents has still been severe.

More encouragingly, the HA also told me that everything was lined up for the planned works on the ditch and pipes that should drain the runoff from the A20 (see post of 27 January) to start next Thursday, 6 February.
