Farm Ditches and Drainage need enforcement to clean up, 15th January
After the recent flooding it has become apparent that the land owner who owns the fields on the right hand side of Lound Road as you enter from The Street has not maintained adequate surface water drainage and at some point, when building the bungalows and new housing, has allowed the pond which was located between those properties to be filled in. It would also appear that the new housing at the top of Lound Road, has a pond which is draining via a small, inadequate pipe in to the ditch outside one of the bungalows. The sheer volume of water coming off that field meant that the ditch could not cope and the water cascaded in to the road. Resulting in some 15" of both water and sewerage (as the drains could not cope) spilling in to the road. Both bungalows were underwater and it cannot be acceptable that a Land owner is not made to maintain adequate surface water drainage for both these properties. The Fire Brigade will have compiled a report on the incident they attended recently and I would suggest that the Council take a deeper look at this problem and decline any further building applications on this area until such time as it is proven that adequate water surface drainage is installed. There is a Parish Council meeting this evening 15th January in the village Hall in Blundeston and a Council representative in attendance would be useful to understand the needs of the local residents and perhaps to call upon the Land owner to reinstate the ditches and soak away ponds that have not been maintained for over 20 years it would seem.

Torrent of water running off the fields causing 14” of water on the road surface., 3rd January
Each time we have heavy rain, water is running off the field on to the road causing water to flood, sewage drains to overflow and cottages with no frontage deluged by the dirty water as cars drive past. Tuesday 2nd January was at its worse. Water hit a high of 14”. This has happened twice recently but an ongoing problem that’s getting worse.

Several large pot holes, 13th January
Several large pot holes placed around The Green at Somerleyton. The Maintenance Manager at Soomerleyton Estate advised me yesterday (MON 12/01/15) that it is the responsibility of the Suffolk Highways to repair these potholes. I tripped over one last week and hurt my hand, wrist and back and my vehicle has had two wheels replaced as they were badly damaged by the potholes that you simply can't miss
