1 Potholes School Lane between Lower Leigh and

land at Middleton Green. Adjacent to a

Mr M Wildon
1 Presentation of a
comprehensive report submitted to the Parish Council and forwarded to
County Highways.
Problem of flooding on Dodsleigh Lane between Intakes Lane and the Level
Crossing.
Water flowing down Dodsleigh Lane from a pond overflow into a grid in
Raddle Lane, the water flow
picks up silt on Holmcroft land due to a damaged culvert, then runs down
Dodsleigh Lane into a large
culvert system under the road between Intakes Lane and the Level
Crossing. This culvert is completely
blocked with silt. A second culvert
beneath the Level Crossing is clear and so is the remainder of the drainage
system down to the river.
The Chairman thanked Mr Wildon on behalf of the villagers for his work
in attempting to clear the flooded road and surveying the drainage system down
Dodsleigh Lane.
2 Comment on the amount of
litter left by Network Rail contractors at Lower Leigh.
Mr Wildon had been in contact with Network Rail.
