In December 2012 and March 2013, a number of properties in
Fraddon, Indian Queens and Summercourt were flooded. On behalf of the Parish
Council, I prepared a detailed report, which outlined the nature of the incidents
and sought action from Cornwall Council to address the problems.
As a consequence of the report, improvements are being made to
the road ditches and pipework along a section of the old A30, about one mile to
the east of Indian Queens, in order to prevent the future flooding of two
properties.
Cornwall Council has also devised a Property Level
Protection (PLP) scheme across Cornwall
and surveyors will soon be visiting a number of properties in Fraddon and
Summercourt to explore what could be done to safeguard them against future
flooding incidents.
There were also a number of incidents during the recent
Christmas and New Year period – and a further report has already been sent to
Cornwall Council to keep them informed about what has been happening locally.
If you have had problems with flood water in recent weeks,
please get in contact with me, so that I can make representations on your
behalf.
