    Report: Bernie Webster

    During the course of the last week one of the gullies in Crabtree Lane Burscough became blocked. - this flooded the driveways of two houses and came close to entering one of the homes.

    LCC's Highways Department were contacted and they had someone on site within 90 minutes with a Gully Wagon.

    It turned out that this was not an easy fix and so they return later with a jetter but were still unable to locate the source of the problem; in the following days they returned with a digger to find out where the problem was.


    It would appear that whilst the telegraph pole was being inserted into the ground as far back as 10 years ago, it pierced a 12 inch drainage pipe and gradually over the years it has blocked the system up entirely.

    They managed to get the water running again but the telegraph pole will most probably need relocating - this should be addressed in the near future.

    Since having been flooded myself in recent years I have taken a keen interest in flooding issues and became a member of Burscough Flood Group. The group and myself would wish to highlight and praise the quick response and excellent work of the Highways Department.

    We would also hope that the considerable costs of investigating and addressing this problem are not paid for out of public funds thereby effectively subsidising the profits of shareholders of the company which may be responsible, particularly in times when we are being told that there is little or no funding to address many of the flood issues experienced locally.

    The crew that came did a fantastic job, if you have to call them out, please remember they did not cause your problem, they came to fix it. Treat them well and maybe offer them a cup of tea.

    Bernie W.
