Thurrock Council Excuses
&
Global Warming my Ar**
An
Election will soon be upon us in Thurrock!!
I and many Thurrock residents are aware that this
country has had a fair bit of extra rainfall just
recently causing disruption and misery for all road
users all over Thurrock, but the flooded roads in
Thurrock are not all down to Global Warming although
Thurrock council would like you to believe that.
It was a false Economy
Thurrock Councils (mechanical
road sweepers) were brought in to
save
money, at the time it sounded good, however is may
have back fired into Thurrock councils faces, what
happens to the dust and debris when the road sweeper
vehicle sweeps over road surface drains?
Does
the driver lift up the brush when crossing surface
drains?
Yer and Pigs can fly!!
It
don’t need much working out!
Years of neglect, bad practices and bad
maintenance of our drainage systems in Thurrock
is one of the main causes of our flooded roads and
lanes in Thurrock.
Have
you got blocked or clogged up drains in your area?
please send me the pictures or email me the location
for me to visit to get to get the pics for this
site, also email your local councillors to get your
problem sorted out, that's what they get their expenses
for.

 Putting
The Cart Before The Horse?
Thurrock Council installs a slippery road traffic Warning
sign
when they should be pulling out all of the stops
to sort out this serious outstanding
flooding road safety hazard.
Erecting
a Warning Sign Does Not Remove The Road Safety Hazard!!.

 Are
Thurrock Council Saving Money On Road Safety Again?
It is common knowledge that the left hand lane
just before the roundabout in this Tilbury to Grays slip
road has always flooded when we get a heavy shower downfall,
this could be the result of poor drain maintenance and
should be treated as a priority.
Beware Thurrock
Council do Not
Salt & Grit Non Bus Route's

(Ditches have not been Cleaned this year)
Road
Side Ditches Are Back Feeding The Roads With Water.
Tilbury's Marshfoot lane may soon become a real
Safety Hazard due to the Ditches that do appear to be
blocked, they should be clear and free of debris for receiving
all of the surface road water from marshfoot lane.

ditches?

Flooded Road's Are A Common Sight In Thurrock.
I can remember about 10 year's ago when Thurrock Council
had there own Sludge Gulpers and drain cleaning vehicle's,
the Yellow vehicle were a common sight to be seen in Thurrock
cleaning our drain's and surface water arteries.
The drain the the right has silt right up to the top of
the grating, this confirm's that the network of surface
water arteries must also be silted up!
