The reason for the floods could be the councils can't afford to keep the streets and roads clear of dead leaves. We are lucky here living at the top end of the valley where the excess water flows down to the river. But when i walk up the high street there is about a 4" depth of leaves on the pavement,some of which has been there since last Autumn.
Why councils plant trees so close to houses amazes me. Twice this year they have had to repair broken underground pipes and the pavement because of these trees growing about 8ft away from a row of houses.
A friend of mine has asked for them to be cut down,as when they are in full bloom,they completely blank out his Sky Dish.
