× FED-UP residents of a street blighted by severe flooding believe they’ve found the source of the problem - but say their calls for action are falling on deaf ears.
Families living on Lang Avenue, Lundwood have had to endure destructive floods on at least four separate occasions since the shock floods of 2007.
Even in situations where rainfall isn’t heavy enough to cause the nearby River Dearne to burst its banks, many can wake up to waterlogged gardens.
This, say a group of residents determined to tackle the issue themselves, is due to a nearby drain which is blocked and damaged, and spews water out onto the fields to the east of the street when there is a significant downpour - and sometimes even when there isn’t.
