Unfortunately, I’d say that’s exactly what happened. But it shouldn’t even be up to residents to point out problems with drainage in the first place. The engineering team should be looking for these problems and then ensuring they are dealt with properly early on in the process.

I had a look at the council’s reports on this project. It seems residents raised the issue of drainage on this road and were assured the construction team would look at it. I agree that auditing after construction is inadequate (or perhaps completely absent).

Well done, and thank you for doing this.

One of the very last things to go into the 2020 Programme for Government (at about 2 a.m. in the morning) was a commitment to triple Local Link passenger journeys. Huge push-back, we were told it was impossible to achieve.

By the time we left government, numbers were up x5.

If you build it.......
