Kelvin Hall School flooding

Your local Conservative Councillors JOHN FAREHAM and JOHN ABBOTT are working to resolve problems with potential flooding from Kelvin School playing fields.

During the latest of our pioneering and trail-blazing mobile bus forums on December 12^th local residents brought to our notice concerns regarding the part of the school grounds where construction vehicles had been parked. This was, they said, compressed enough for rainwater to gather there and not drain away, which could lead to flooding if the rain were to be heavy enough. We have therefore contacted the officers and asked them to take the matter in hand as it could have serious implications both for local residents and the Council.  It goes without saying that we will continue to work on this issue until a solution is in place. We expect to be hearing from the developers soon and we are grateful to the school for their co-operation in this matter.
