The state of the roads in Spalding is dire.
A particular issue is the lack of drainage on St Thomas’s Road at the junction of Welland Road.
A few inches of rain leaves flood water on the Grammar School side of Welland Road (no drain, but sunken road); the drain outside Anglian Water depot totally unserviceable; the drain outside the Rugby Field entrance, likewise totally unserviceable. Have these drains been cleared in the recent past few years?
Pity any poor pedestrian, already wet from the rain, trying to walk down the footpath – soaked from head to foot by the speeding motorists, who really don’t give a hoot!
This situation has been on-going for some years, and I wonder that nobody from South Holland District Council has ever noticed this issue.
