Haycombe Drive drainage update

Following meetings with BANES Highways officers we agreed work needed to be carried out to alleviate the flooding issues on Haycombe Drive.

We are pleased to confirm a team will be onsite between 18th and 22nd May to enlarge the gullies in the above are to help the water to flow away easier.

We will continue to monitor this area after the work has been completed to see if any further works are required.

The traffic will be managed by the workmen on a give and take basis whilst the work is carried out and some parking restrictions may be in place as and when required.
