I know what you mean Brian, we pay our council tax to Kirklees, our next door neighbour pays to Bradford council.

Glad you saved the 75, I did spot one on Facebook that was a gonner.

Local to me and its the worst I've ever seen it, this photo is just round the corner from that rover 75

All cleared this morning and normal service has resumed

Mike,
Thanks for posting on what must have been a very traumatic day for you and your family.Hope you can sort the insurance out for your wife's car and , if necessary, the house. Just buy her a 75 instead!

Just to add to the [lack of] drainage comments, when I first moved here to Derbyshire, 30 odd years ago, the road drains were cleaned out 4 times per year and then, with successive funding cuts by central government, down to 2 and then 1. Of course, if someone parks over the drain it gets left till next year.....and the same can happen again and again. not many people, unlike Brian, report blocked road drains. Some, on the A6 locally, have got plants growing out of them!

When was the last time anyone watched a river bed being dredged deeper? The rubbish put out the rivet authorities that dredging ‘does not work’ are complete liars. I have watched two rivers being dredged in my lifetime. I have watched while in Germany the river Mosel at Reil being dredged, and the dredger tied up on the bank for the night before starting again in the morning. What should happen is they should be taken to court for dereliction of duty, then they might realise their omissions are causing people ,and insurances money and heartache. Glad I live up in the sky between Birmingham and Walsall.

No wonder there was a flash flood, which fool opened the boot on their 75 to let the rainwater out

Irresponsible ownership if you ask me
