levels. A topographical survey of the hill has now been completed which is the first step in creating a wetland scheme which will slow down the water flow off the hill, particularly now that Sandy Lane adjacent to Sunnyside is also flooded during downpours. Many thanks to the support offered by the relevant agencies for their immediate response and also for planning longer term to find permanent solutions. It might be appropriate to add that an on going concern is that despite flood warning signage authorised by WBC and the police, drivers still drive through, often at speed which causes bow waves over the sand bags and door steps. I would urge you all to keep your eyes and ears open and report to the agencies and or your local councillors any event that you witness so we might one day begin the fight back. Take a walk along the river at Garstang, Churchtown, St Michaels or as we did over the break at the begining of the story at the Marshaw and Tarnbrook Wyre at Abbeystead and give your suggestions as to how we might tame this short stretch of the Wyre.
