    St Andrews Road Flooding

    over 1 year ago

    I have lived in the area of St Andrews Road for nearly seven years.

    I am not in the Par St Blazey Catchment but am in an catchment that feeds into St Austell Bay.

    The issue, during extreme weather events, water flows into a woodland via a pipe and through a bank spreading across a field (my field) on its journey before flowing down and impacting barns in the valley bottom (my barns).

    Lack of co-operation with adjacent woodand landowner required an in field solution, the objective being to guide the flow, slow... Continue reading
