Floods

Would just like to take the opportunity to say well done to the roads department for their work on trying to reduce the floods on the West Road. Seems to be successful coming home tonight. :)

Any chance you can do the bit between Kilkenzie and the turn off for Sound of Kintyre too? :wink:

Walking home from school today, I made the mistake of walking through Meadows Playing Field.

I would strongly recommend that you dont do that when it has been heavily raining or is raining at the time :lol:

The Glencraigs and Kilmichael bits didnt seem any better after the work they did, possibly even worse, I see the polis have even put a flood sign up too. My van kept wheel spinning and aqua planning nearly the whole way into town.

May be I was just down the roads before the floods got really bad there. On town side if Kilkenzie I was worried my engine was going to intake water and conk out with the amount of water that was on the road.

Well Tubby the Tuba if you cut your speed down and have more respect for other road users in these weather conditions your van would not be wheel spining or aqua planning!!!

Well done to the Road boys for working in all types of weather conditions, keeping people safe :D
Some people on here seem to think they sit about doing nothing all day. I think its about time the landowners were made to stop blocking up the offlets and let the water run into the fields and off the road, which would help minimize flooding and keep the road safer and in better condition.

But what would i know :?: :?: :?:
