A lot of flood water could be avoided if the authorities dredged the rivers and maintained ditches. Also there doesn’t seem to be any teams of manual seasonal road sweepers anymore or even the odd lorry sweeper that kept the storm drains clear from blocking which leads to deep puddles on our roads in heavy rain.
If floods on our roads weren’t bad enough, most of us on a good day spend a lot of time trying to avoid pot holes. Why is there enough tarmac to make speed humps, but not enough to fill the pot holes?
