dunno. There were none of the large pipes used to take water to the canal rising from the open manhole cover where the sound of rushing water was coming from.
It was explained as being to do with the environmentally friendly way in which rainwater is collected & channelled away from the roof.
Torrential rain on Sunday was it then? Are all the roofs on yet?

Yes thought so? Where was all the rushing water coming from then if not from the roofs when it was raining?
Takes time for the water to soak away apparently. Something to do with flash flooding & its prevention, being ecological, upto 4 days for the rainwater to disperse. I'm sure if you email Costain they'll tell you all about it.

It's with the NTC lawyers.
Somebody else having a bite of the cherry no doubt. It has already overspent by a considerable amount. Just goes to show, you can't buck big business it seems.

Was that a typo?
Perhaps the Council shouldn't have mouthed-off so widely about it being all the fault of the nasty developers until after the results were in.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

A decent council may have had a chance I think but NTC?
