REGARDING Councillor Paul Brown's comments about drainage, (LET, October 1), I would like to point out that if he wishes to see a lake, then he would be welcome to see the lane at the back of our house leading to the front of James Street, Belthorn.

You don't even need a heavy downpour of rain, because the drains are non-existent and the water pours on to my back lawn regularly.

It's about time the council and councillors did sort out the real problems regarding drains.

FLORENCE HUGHES (Mrs), Belthorn Road, Belthorn.
