As you can see we are having to yet again anticipate we could flood due to water run off farmer’s fields and lane, we are sandbagging our drive and property drain to prevent these overflowing with the sheer volume of water! This needs investigating as a matter of urgency! We have had countless conversations and visits from Shropshire Highways and Councillor Edward Potter, we have made the local parish council aware and have had to involve the fire service! This has to stop it’s devastating our lives! My husband is a double amputee and we have a baby! Our property SHOULD NOT be flooding because of water coming off farmers fields and the lack of maintenance on Abbey Lane!
