Up to a couple of years back it used to overflow in the winter, run down across the footpath between Valley View Drive and Church Lane and carry on through the woodland till it reached the beck, where it created a boggy area on the beck footpath. Seems to have been sorted now, guess it was an underground drain blocked up but the beck itself is getting in a right state, particularly down the Wisteria Way end where over clogging with reeds is causing the bank side to slip into the beck and the area to become wider as a result. Tory council not bothered or just skint? Will probably lose part of the beck footpath eventually if nothing is done to prevent the erosion, shame because it’s a lovely walk in the countryside down there.
Holy crap! Jonnie Or-not? Surely-not, it’s too factual!
