Cllr Stephen Fenton has asked council officers to investigate measures to tackle the frequent flooding on Tadcaster Road at the junction with Calcaria Court (near the St Helens Road traffic lights).

A dip in the road surface combined with some strategically ill-placed drains has created a ‘bowl’ in which water accumulates. The picture below was taken on Sunday 15th November.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stephen is also asking officers to look again at the drainage arrangements outside the vets and Vinyl Eddie’s on Tadcaster Road. The area was cleared recently, but the ‘lagoon’ next to the bus stop is as bad as ever and mixed with rotting leaves, has formed a thick sludge. The local Lib Dem team believe that a more fundamental look at drainage arrangements at this location is needed.
