FLOODING AT REDCLIFFS
4 It; is time something was done to prevent a recurrence of the ?.j° din ® caused by the recent high tides, affecting some 26 or 27 properties facing the sea at Redcliffs. Some time a , g< A* maetm g wa s called by the councn and the owners were asked to build X a “? facing the sea on their properties Most owners did this but some three or four dit\, not. This means that until A™owners who have not built walls do so, the flooding will still occur Ihere is also a drain which runs by Mr 1. Smiths property and until a flood gate is put on this the flood water can back up this drain. Will the council or Drainage Board take action before the next high tides come along?— Yours.
