Brassknocker floods

Local Councillor Neil Butters has been working with B&NES to tackle the flooding problems on Brassknocker Hill.
The excess flooding has been caused by:
- an old culvert that was discharging over the road, rather than through a
gully or roadside channel.
- an existing concrete channel that was not able to contain the water and was getting blocked by debris.
- another culvert that was discharging over the top of a gully rather than through an inlet.
Neil said:
“It’s always a problem, particularly in rural areas, when roads flood. Hopefully, Council officers can sort it out as soon as possible, so no further inconvenience is caused to drivers using this route.”
