Recent articles on these subjects have attracted interest and opinions; it is clear that they are sensitive issues for residents in Pool.

In the Pool Parish Council Autumn Quarterly Newsletter, flooding was reported and it was noted that ‘plans have been addressed to identify worst affected areas’. The full report and contact details are available on http://www.poolparishcouncil.gov.uk

For planning, the Plans Panel’s next meeting is Thursday 6 December 2012; and the agenda will include the planning officer’s report on Pool Arena

We hope by the next issue of e-news, 12 December, we will have more news to report on these issues.

Thanks to a local Tweeter we know that the A659 is flooded, causing tail backs to Pool and on local roads. River levels at Pool Bridge are not exceptional and are well below record flood levels.

Given the inconvienence and significant economic costs, a solution is needed and time for our local authorities to come up with a solution; raising the road level seems to be an obvious remedy. What do you think?
