Flooding in Milnrow
Progress is being made in the fight against flooding in Milnrow. Drainage investigations were undertaken for two days at the end of September. The contractor is now back on site continuing their investigation work on Kiln Lane.
It is understood the seven blocked gullies on and at the bottom of Kiln Lane will be replaced and the drainage investigation will be taking place on Dale Street working from the easterly end near the shopping precinct. The Council will clean the gullies three times a year to help alleviate the problems.
Councillor Andy Kelly said: "Having met with council officers about the flooding issues, I am satisfied that they are now taking positive action that will protect residents and businesses alike.
"I appreciate that the works are currently causing an inconvenience for local people. I am sure though that they will understand that these works are urgent."
