And it Rained

After all the sunny weather we have been having recently the heavens opened up over night, the sky lit up with the flashes of lightening and the air was full of the sound of thunder.

Predictably with so much rain the streets of the village flooded once again and peoples gardens were threatened with flooding because of the state of the drains at the side of the road. This is becoming more and more common when we get any significant rain fall. Lack of investment in the drainage system in Rutland to solve on going localised flooding is clear to for all to see. This isn't the first time the road shown in the picture has flooded before and nor will it be the last.  

Instead of taking action trying to sort out the drainage system the council would rather do nothing and ignore the problem for as we all know spending on infrastructure is something they just ignore. No action will be taken until it is to late and the people mopping up the mess will be the insurance companies and the people paying will be the villagers with high insurance premiums.
