Representation Summary:
Object to Knebworth (general): Existing drainage inadequate and poorly maintained. Strategic improvement to village drainage required
Full text:
Currently Knebworth High Street and other areas of the village suffer from flooding at times of heavy rain. The existing drainage in the village is inadequate and poorly maintained with many blocked gulleys. The notes on Sites KB2, KB3 and KB4 all refer to measures to mitigate existing flood risk, but these should not be reviewed in isolation but as part of a strategic improvement to village drainage.
