Water tight

Assesses the flood risk from inadequate surface water drainage systems. The problem is that traditional point and gully rely on an incline to channel water away and becomes even less effective when gullies become blocked leading to ponding; a potential hazard to cyclists, motorists and pedestrians and leading to greater risk of flooding to homes and shops. Looks at Kirklees Borough Council's solution that uses the kerb as a drainage inlet.
