Prolonged
overnight rain caused the Open Space between Cator
Lane and Bramcote Lane to flood again at the Cator
Lane end for the 3rd time in 11 days |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The water almost reaches one house that hasn't been
provided with flood gates. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
Severn Trent arrive; the fire brigade were too busy. |

|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The
flood gates for one of the unfortunate residents
prove ineffective again. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The
car park at Greenwood Court starts to flood. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
This time the water floods down the side of Greenwood
Court |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
Raw sewage floods out of the manhole cover at Greenwood
Court to make the problem much more serious. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The
water heads towards the Grove Avenue Allotments. |
|

The manhole cover on Cator Lane. |
|

Each of the Servern Trent tankers can hold up to
2000 gallons. They filled 6 or 7 to move the water
elsewhere. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The water floods off the Open Space on to Cator
Lane |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The bottom end of the Open Space i.e. the location
of the proposed Cator Lane Tram Stop. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The water on the Open Space reaches 7.5" deep |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The water floods on to the Open Space |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The force of the head of water lifts the heavy manhole
cover. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
Plenty of standing water in the small wood at Bramcote
Lane end of the Open Space. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The water enters the culvert to go under Bramcote
Lane and along the Open Space. The builders have
been removing blockages from the gate to keep the
water flowing. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The swollen stream as it heads towards the culvert. |
|
| |
|
|

 |

Picture showing how close the flooded stream is
to the new build on Bramcote Lane. Is there room
for a tram here? |
|
| |
|
|

 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
Surface water just past Sandy Court. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |

The swollen stream behind Sandy Court i.e. right
where the proposed tram route runs. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
Plenty of surface water between Sandby Court and
Eskdale Drive |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The water floods over the top of this filter gate
and completely hides a drain coming from the properties
on Holkham Avenue |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The forked stem of this tree is well under water. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The water goes totally over the top of this filter
gate. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
So much water that it finds its way around the side
of the first filter gate. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The open stream on Eskdale Playing Fields. |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
The culvert on Eskdale Playing Fields. The water
fills the culvert to over half way, indicating there
is still plenty more water heading for Cator Lane. |
