As people across Moseley have watched the devastation that floods have caused across Berkshire and Somerset they have all reacted with one response “What if that was those big houses on Chantry Road?”
The events of this Winter have made us all realise how fragile our grip on middle class can be, at any given point we’re only half an inch of sewage away from filthy carpets. Well there is no need to fear as we can report the Chantry Road flood defences are currently being installed, a network of pipes are being put in place to drain excess water away from valuable properties and into the lake in the park.
The Chantry Road Residents Association told us “Yes, it’s true that we live on a hill, and yes and it’s true that even that hill is approximately 148.112 meters above sea level. That doesn’t mean that we’re not at risk. It’s been proven that if an Audi A4 sits in more than 3mm of water for longer than 10 minutes it can completely corrode. That’s why we applaud the Councils decision to invest in flood defences.”
Residents of Moseley will rest easy tonight, even if it rains, which it probably will as there seems to have been a lot of rain recently.
