What an ill thought out plan, literally , the only thing stopping the water right now is about a foot of concrete.

What a shame if they get flooded already.
I remember way back in 1900 and froz to death, (80s) the bit of the Sow next to Sainsburys was dredged, has never been touched since, takes the council all their time cut the grass down that bit. I'm no expert, far from it and I know my posts all show that, but it's my guess we're going to get a lot more flooding everywhere, due to removing all the trees and plants and building where they once were.Hopefully this may encourage the council to look after the waterway better. Dredge it, maintain the overflows and clear it off litter.
...... no chance our council are incompetent.
I believe Yates and Spoons got flooded though.
Just imagine if they had gone ahead with the plan to put a cinema in over there!!Sainsbury's customer carpark & Doxy Rd is flooded, and I get the day off work!
Next to St Paul's Church? It should be fine there.I'm due to go to St Johns Ambulance on Lichfield Rd this afternoon and park in carpark at rear of building. Is that near affected area?
Parked up, looked over hedge behind where I've parked and water not far off...
