We had to pop to B&M for something this evening, expected the usual lake Kingsmead on one side but we were shocked at how far it was encroaching on the rest of the car park.
How're the houses?Silkmore Lane, was deep when i made it through at 6am. Wouldn't attempt it now, turned round and took the sensible way!
The older ones seem OK. Didn't get chance to look at the new ones that flooded a while back that the builder had to buy back or whatever.How're the houses?
I noticed high water adjacent to the nursery near the Asda.Big flood at the start of Queenway coming from Asda to North end, taken lane one out on the bend which is causing a bit of an accident waiting to happen as people try to get in to lane 2 whether a car is already there or not

How's the rugby club fairing...

Who the hell gave planning permission for houses there? One look at the geography tells you they will flood.View attachment 15056

Certainly wouldn't leave a car with FJ Tyres either if it is forecast to rain. Doesn't seem like the best place to open a business.
Looks like the houses have actually been raised to try and avoid the houses from flooding. Gardens, vehicles and roads are screwed though.Who the hell gave planning permission for houses there? One look at the geography tells you they will flood.
Weren't they the houses that the builder had to buy back that @kyoto49 referred to earlier?Who the hell gave planning permission for houses there? One look at the geography tells you they will flood.
Not judging by the latest pictures https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=193888970478480&set=a.143371935530184&type=3Can't imagine Aldi/Kingsmead is going to drain much anytime soon either. Numerous cars also stuck on North Walls behind the old College building.
I wonder when that MINI and the other couple of cars outside Aldi parked up.Not judging by the latest pictures https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=193888970478480&set=a.143371935530184&type=3
Don't be too sure:That's one car park that won't be getting EV chargers any time soon.
The big pond on Silkmoor Lane was part of the cause but the overnight roadworks at the top of Radford Bank leaving a lane closed off all day certainly contributed.These flooded roads explain why the traffic was bad on Radford Bank/A34 earlier.
