Why Stafford has flooded roads

[darben]

Should you ever have the misfortune to venture to Bloxwich, or the nearby idyllically named estate of Beechdale, you will see what litter in large quantities really looks like.

Yo am roight babs, but we shouldn't gauge ourselves by others yammpy standards!

Bet their drains are so chocca that the streets are like cuts (canals).

I reported a blocked gully that was flooding the road at Weston Road opposite the Prince of Wales and actually got emailed the inspectors comments and told the time period for repair... And it actually got done! Pretty strange that there's a conspiracy theory that reporting things direct to the council means the won't get done but using some random, unaccountable third party website means it will...

We had a blocked drain up the lane from here, first attempt at a fix was a tanker to suck up the flood and vacuum out the drain. That failed and next time it rained the flood returned, it was so deep at one point only trucks and tractors were getting through. About two years after the problem started a team arrived and dug out the area which finally sorted it.
