A 'sea of mud' hit a the village
Housing developers have been given 14 days to fix their drainage system after a 'sea of mud' hit a Nottinghamshire village. It comes after the local Co-op and a couple of roads had to shut in Burton Joyce after heavy rain has seen flooding in the area on Thursday, October 20.
Planning officers from Gedling Borough Council have now carried out inspections at both Glebe Farm and Orchard Close sites and action has been taken. The developers on Glebe Farm and Orchard Close were handed in a 14 day notice to fix their drainage - and enforcement action including shutting the site down could be introduced if they fail to do so.
Councillor Michael Adams, Leader of Conservative Group in Trent Valley, added: "The developers have 14 days to comply, and that is to get the drainage into operation. A Gedling Borough Council spokesperson said: "On Thursday, large parts of the borough and the county saw extremely high levels of rainfall, causing flooding across several areas.
