Cedar Road flooding

There has been a problem with flooding on Cedar Road at its junction with Forthill Road for a long time. In recent years the flooding has resulted in a surcharge of sewage, leaving behind foul smelling sludge, toilet paper and other unpleasant material. The nearby kerb and pavement are also showing signs of damage caused by the repeated flooding. When it is reported to Scottish Water there is a quick response to clean it up, but a more long term solution is required. The council has made it clear that it has no responsibility for the problem at this location and it lies entirely with Scottish Water. Following the rains of the last few days (and another clean up) Scottish Water has advised that it is going to undertake further investigations to identify why the surcharge of sewage keeps happening.
