I totally agree with Paul Ts comments on South Lakes Search & Rescue, where were they? and for the other person PS, who posted that it needs to be put "into perspective" when your house is flooded, wether it be 2 inches or 6inches of water it matters, or do SLSAR think theyre TOO important to come out to just 6 inches of floodwater .

If this is so I wonder if there isn't a case for criminal negligence against the council. After all some part of council taxes goes towards maintaining utilities.

I remember as a child walking along Abbotsmede in wellies by the small park and enjoying the flooding.
With a couple of small pals, we went to the Pictures (in what is now the bingo hall in salthouse road)to watch a 'Tarzan' movie.
The first 6 rows or so were cordoned off as they were flooded. Actually, the water sloshing aroound added something to Tarzan.
Seriously I am sure that the council solved this problems many years ago but apparently now something has gone very wrong

Why haven't they council emptied the drains, this rain has been forecast for days. Bloked drains cause floods.

I lost my arm bands while swimming down Roose Road, if anyone spots them can you please return them to me!

i thought after the last time that salthouse area was floooded a few years ago that united utilities said they had solved the problem at salthous epumping station and it wouldnt happen again?

Paul T - does 6 inches of water warrant the calling out of South Lakes Search and Rescue. Perspective is needed here!

when i was a lad you often seen council trucks with them big long pipes on them cleaning the drains you dont see them much anymore. could this be the solution. ??????
