LAKE SPRINGS UP NEAR THE A18 IN BRIGG

It would appear there's a blocked drain, or gulley, just off the A18 in Brigg - near the traffic lights at the junction of Barnard Avenue and Wesley Road.
Yesterday morning it was like a lake and we saw a number of cars swap to the other side of the road to avoid what was pretty deep standing water.
Perhaps this is one for Councillor Nigel Sherwood, Cabinet Member for Highways and Neighbourhoods, to take up with relevant staff at North Lincolnshire Council.
And while he has his computer handy, it would be worth asking someone to check the lights in Burgess Road, Yarborough Road and Springfield Road during the day, as we've noted that some are staying on during daylight hours.
This might save the council a few bob on the meter. Every little helps!

Had an automated call from the Environment agency on Sunday Night notifying me that Brigg was on a flood warning . The advice for flood warnings is to move all valuables upstairs and prepare for flooding .
How many residents actually took any action and how do the flood emergency group alert residents particularly thos situated near the river .
