They are deposited throughout the entire pavement probably about every 15-20 meters apart, some stepped in and flattened already.
I stepped in it yesterday and children walking to school are stepping on it and then taking it inside the primary school on their shoes.

Flooding of properties due to inadequate highway drainage, 8th July
On Hathaway Road at the bottom of the hill outside no. 49 there is a pair of road gullies which are incapable of handling the surface water run off. This is due in part because there is inadequate positive highway drainage in Hathaway Road but it is also exacerbated by inadequate highway drainage in Hill Village Road which overflows across the rear gardens and funnels down into no. 42 Hathaway Road and then into the road causing a major surcharge and the associated flooding problem. As can be seen from the attached photo showing the surcharging of the surface water manhole cover the problem could also appear to be a downstream issue which should be investigated with a CCTV survey. I would be very interested if a surface water run-off model would concur with my observations that the infrastructure appears to be inadequate to protect premises from flooding.
