I never thought I would get so interested in drains....see many previous posts - these three drains are in Humphreys End at the end of Ruscombe road - a lot of the newer silt piled up has now been removed - indeed I didn't know there were three drains - always thought there were two there!
Anyhow the nature of the bank and siting of the drains means they clog up very quickly - indeed it was 18 inches deep in water just a couple of weeks ago.
I have sent these latest photographic masterpieces to Highways - they have already got back to contractors about the importance of removing silt away from drains and in cases like Ash Lane to remove the silt completely - it seems more radical action is needed if these drains are not to continue to block regularly - as the photos show they are already half covered in debris yet were only just cleaned.
