Millfield Road Lake

Post by Sunderland Nut »

It only takes a small amount of rain to turn the road between Millfield Metro Station and the health centre at Hylton Road into a lake.
Take last night, just a small downpour and that was it, a dangerous deep water hazard that motorists have to contend with.
Year in and year out this happens.
Sunderland Council and the police obviously know about it because we all do.
I will put a link to this in the Sunderland Council neglect post.
Where's the good old active Lib-Dem councillors now?
Come on, this is dangerous and it happens many times a year!

That happens every so often and I've often wondered why they don't fix it.

Regular as clockwork.
It's one of the main arterial routes through Sunderland as well so why do they ignore it.
I can remember this Hylton Road pond going back decades.
I blame the Lib-Dems :mrgreen:

I know you are trying to stir me up but it's not working, we got rid of Labour in Millfield and we are happy with the Lib-Dems. Thanks :slapping:
