A culvert that runs between the back garden of 9 Grangewood under Rowtree Road requires inspection for silting up, or obstructions. Due to the recent Flood alleviation works in Penvale park, large amounts of silt were discharged into the Grangewood gully and onto this outlet/culvert. At a recent meeting with RAIN, WNC flood team and Pinder Chauhan - Cabinet Member for Flooding, she requested (in November and December) that you inspect this culvert to ascertain if it is clear of silt, or obstructions. We are in a flood risk area, so this work should be classed as high priority. Thanking you for your prompt action regarding this matter.
