This work includes the retaining wall which was done by the vendor and also since 2007 the Council have changed the neighbouring road bridge from two small culvert pipes to a one box culvert allowing a much greater flow of water and since then there has been no problems at all with flooding to the house or grounds, in fact the water level has not risen above the retaining wall.
