The flooding problem in the Tranby Lane area on Sunday 25th November 2012 appears to have been caused by a blocked culvert and an excess of land drainage, possibly made worse by the new school driveway and cemetery extension.
The flooding would have been greater had it not been for two Tranby lane residents who are members of Humberside Police. They gave advice and support to residents and redirected traffic before services arrived to alleviate the flooding. The ditches on both sides of the road are in riparian ownership.
A Flooding Action Plan has been produced by resident Mr. Slingsby which was copied to all Councillors for information. After discussion, it was agreed that the Clerk arrange a site meeting with the appropriate E.R.Y.C. Officers, representation from the Parish Council, a representative on behalf of the local residents and Cllr. Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson from Kirk Ella & West Ella Parish Council.
A screen to the culvert would prevent further problems.
