Both Lancashire County Council (Highways) and Environment Agency have confirmed that this trash gate was installed without the correct planning permissions or required industry standards.
This has contributed to flooding within the locality in the ten years since it’s installation, the most recent affecting @ 30 family homes.
Families have been significantly affected both financially and emotionally with many needing to move out of their homes for up to 12 months whilst damage is repaired.
Lancashire County Council have implied no proposed timeframe for the funding/completion of this work.
