Gobowen Road, Oswestry, regularly floods, with the water often entering homes in Jasmine Gardens.
There has been a long-running dispute over who owns responsibility for maintaining a culvert which runs under Gobowen Road, in Oswestry, Shropshire. Flooding in the area often leaves water backing up into homes in nearby Jasmine Gardens.Shropshire Council's highways team are to jet and clear out the section of the culvert under the public highway. Land drainage experts will arrange to inspect other sections further upstream.
Dan Morris, the council's highways portfolio holder, said it was "essential" the culvert was properly maintained along its length. "The council's Land Drainage Team will also be making arrangements to meet the Cambrian Rail Trust to visually inspect the culvert where it runs under the rail line," he said at a cabinet meeting last week.
"Should any defects or restrictions to flow be identified during this visit, the council will request that the Cambrian Rail Trust undertake the required works as soon as possible,” he added.Plan for food bank to help with winter fuel costsMore town 20mph zones needed, councillor urges
