Flooding problem at Brisbane Glen Road to be fixed this week

Independent councillor Ian Murdoch has flagged up the issue with North Ayrshire Council, as community councillor Frank Alexander has frequently raised concerns regarding repeated floodings when there is heavy rainfall.

It is an important link road to housing estates and Brisbane Glen, as well as to Largs' Brisbane Glen cemetery, and used by the Largs Local Bus Service.

in a letter from North Ayrshire Council roads department to Cllr Murdoch, an official stated: "There is a works instruction issued for this area to have the gullies cleaned and jetted to address the ponding at the Bus Stop in Brisbane Glen Road.

"It has been requested that the gulley motor attend to these as a priority and I would expect this to take place this week."

Other locations Cllr Murdoch has also highlighted to North Ayrshire Council will also be carried out this week including areas of ponding at street drains on Alexander Avenue, at the Largs Campus Crossing, and at the junction of Alexander and Burnside Road/Sport Scotland access Road.

The council stated: "Both of these locations have been inspected and a works instruction has been issued to have the gullies cleaned and outlets jetted.

"As for the bottom of Charles Street/Mackerston junction, the gullies in the area have been checked and there is one that appears to be blocked, similarly, a works instruction has been issued for this to be cleaned and jetted.

"It has been requested that the gulley motor attend to these as a priority and we would expect this to take place this week."

Cllr Murdoch said: "I am pleased that these issues have been actioned, and should all be taking place this week.

"I reported this before and after the Christmas holidays, and hopefully will now be repaired as soon as possible."
