Our stream, which rises on Mount Pleasant Farm is usually dry through the summer but at this time of year it flows so ferociously that it can surge over the track, eroding the repairs to the bank.
In the left photo the water is nearly up to the top of the culvert entrance. After the blockages were removed it was a bit better but there is still nearly too much water for the culvert to cope with. You can see the puddle on top where the water was previously pouring over.
Then it travels on past the Paddock and the Sort-it Centre,
past the Industrial Estate and down Vilner Lane by the Community Compost Site (currently closed due to lack of funds.)
Then it merrily pours under the gate into Vilner Lane Wood, which safely absorbs the flood water.
Could you let me know whether the videos worked?
