Lyndon Road Drains Overflowing

The contractors respnsible for replacing the water pipes have been flushing out the pipes but according to Severn Trent but flow of water was too high resulting in overlfow. Severn Trent has reduced the flow and the drains are no longer overflowing.

However, the drains should have coped and it suggests there is a bloackage. The problem will be reported to RCC Highways.
