We are looking at temperatures of 8-10 this week so a repeat of last weeks many events which were less than pretty is unlikely however we are still in early February so theres plenty of opportunities yet for freezing surface water.

Would be good to get the action points from Thursdays meeting with TW reported here along with a formal statement from the Council as to what is proposed. If this is really a spring then whats the solution- some sort of underwater chamber to channel excess groundwater? Im not an expert but Id imagine something like this was on the cards.

Others have linked this to Havelock House: how do we prove/disprove conclusively where this excess comes from.

This problem has been in existence for well over a decade requiring repeated road resurfacing works at public cost - and private inconvenience. There is also surely a possibility of the subsoil being washed away substantively by this and the road collapsing? Excess running water isnt actually great for physical structures.

The debate and search for answers mustnt be allowed to fade away
