Flooding update

by Garth Harkness on 22 November, 2016

As you are aware we  had significant rainfall amounts yesterday afternoon and evening. The main areas of concern ( but not exclusively ) have been Royton, Shaw and Saddleworth areas. The teams have been out all night and will continue throughout the day

Significant issues affecting travel as follows:

Wellihole Greenfield – river Thame has burst its banks with potential structural damage to bridge – Road will remain closed until further structural investigations take place today

Beal Lane Shaw – Surcharging culvert, will attempt to reopen road this morning – team on site

Stannybrook Road, Woodhouses – Team on site now and should be open within the next two hours

Tunstead Lane – wall damaged following culvert overflow – team on site
