Flooding: Drainage & Watercourses Everton Parish Council Several properties flooded, one badly. Cellars and gardens under water. Drains backed up, sewage floating about. Problem believed to be excessive water draining from nearby fields. • Would be helpful if someone with expertise in this area could provide advice on the cause, the remedial work required to minimise future risk and implementation of this. Contacted Severn Trent, Environment Agency, the local drainage board and Notts County Council. Difficult to get anyone to accept responsibility. Headon-cum- Upton, Grove and Stokeham Parish Council The parish have experienced on-going drainage problems, not helped by last summer’s floods. Excessive water flowing from landowners field across Thorpe Street. Lack of dyke maintenance. Have been in contact with Notts County Council. Hodsock Parish Council Some of the Langold residents are still not in their homes after nearly a year of repairs. Main problem – drains in the village of Langold were extremely blocked. Filled in culvert contributed to flooding. Linby Parish Council Several homes on Wighay Road, Hucknall were flooded. Clearing of culverts. Problems of excess surface water appear greater than ever. • Better understanding of who is responsible for what. • Introduction of a mapping system for streams to establish the ownership of the stream and liability 25
