Flood Customer Service Line
Following the tour of the Notts C.C. Flood protection team they have sent a message to Orston reiterating their priority ‘Customer Service Line’ 0300 500 80 80
They say that flood risk properties e.g. those at risk of flooding on High Street, can have delivery of sandbags, “deployed as quickly as they can be sent to assist” to the home addresses.
Keep this number to hand to ring when a flood problem seems likely to occur.
Flood Prevention Team
On Tuesday 29th September a senior team from Nottinghamshire County Council flood prevention team, led by Dr Josh Wells (centre), came, as promised, to assess the drainage and flood risks in Orston. Their inspection had been prompted by strongly felt concerns raised by the Parish Council, which thanked them for their thorough approach. They walked the Bon Moor drain, inspected and discussed culverts, drains, gulleys and blockages on Mill Lane, Loughbon, Lombard Street and High Street. They complimented the residents of Orston who undertook cutting back and clearing of obstructions in the Bon Moor drain. After two hours inspection they left with plans to discuss drainage issues with VIA, (their ‘Roads and Gulleys arm’), and to investigate riparian owner issues relating to drainage.
The Parish Council hopes that this inspection and subsequent discussions will prove advantageous to Orston.
Orston Golf Society Knock-out
The Final of the Durham Ox Golf Knock-out was played recently at South Kyme Golf Club in Lincolnshire. The finalists were Bob Clarke and Patrick Newton. With bright sunshine and a steady breeze conditions were perfect for a competitive match on a neutral course. Bob established an early lead and this was gradually whittled down by the 18th with Patrick coming out victorious. Thanks to our participants in the competition and special thanks to our organiser Foz.
