I thought I'd found a sink hole...

I thought I'd found a sink hole.


But it turned out to be a hidden storm grid. It was so full of mud that it was as if it had been turfed. So I cleared it out a bit.


I thought that the powers that be had to regularly make sure the grids are clear. I think a visit to Sarn Lane us a bit overdue. 

The other thing I noticed was that the water inside the grid was just lying there. It did not appear to be flowing anywhere. If it doesn't flow away, then it overflows and there is a flood. Is there a blockage somewhere that is stopping the flow. Perhaps the powers that be should have a look.

    This problem is akin to my station walk, with drains not really draining. Leaves the path covered in puddles and you are constantly in peril of “the splash” from cars doing 50+ on a 30 lane. I think this is a sign of the times, remember as a boy all drains were drained when it hadn’t rained, it is another one of those services that appears hit and miss these days.

      I think it’s become more of an On Demand service. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

Full River

The current heavy and persistent rain has swelled the Alyn. Here is a vie from the Sarn Bridge.
