I have been visiting many parts of my council ward that have once again had their roads flooded due to lack of proper drainage.

While it is essential to see more tarmac put on our crumbling roads, these repairs will not last long if our roads keep getting flooded.

I have raised this matter with our roads department and I'm confident our hard working front line roads men will address this issue promptly.
