Petition about drainage

Gosford Council has received a petition with six signatures from residents of Bowden Rd, Woy Woy about the failure of drainage in their road.

The petition stated the failure of the existing storm water drainage in Bowden Rd from Burge Rd to the foreshore had resulted in flooding of their properties.

The petitioners stated that on January 5 rain water cascading down Bowden Rd overshot the drain and went down the driveway and the path which resulted in water within one inch from the top doorstep at the front entrance of villa units in the street.

Petitioners have also submitted a proposed drainage plan with existing drainage photos.

The petition requested that Council urgently review and remedy the failure of the existing storm water drainage.

The request has been forwarded to the council's engineering investigation unit and petitioners have been told they will be advised of the outcome of the investigations.
