You have come twice and repaired part of Mill Lane and installed a drain to channel water under the road. Unfortunately most heavy rain overflows the drain and washes across the lane. (See 3rd photo) This has washed out the road below the end of the new tarmac. (See other photos) It has caused a deep shelf across the road of up to 15cm deep and getting deeper. People are complaining about the huge step this has caused including postal delivery vans and cars visiting the site as well as residents. The tarmac needs to be continued down the slope and beyond the entrance to the Mill Yard so the over flowing water is channelled into the other drain across the road. As well as this you should review the new drain and consider if it could be improved so that it captures more water and keeps it from overflowing across the road damaging the surface. It is torrential and fast flowing and is literally washing out the hard core. This road leads to a disability access route on the canal towpath. It is now impossible to get a wheelchair up the ledge where the tarmac ends. I know because I am in a wheelchair!
