The county council will now have to formulate a plan for the issue by May 16
Nottinghamshire County Council will investigate a Hucknall flood hotspot after nearly 1,800 people signed a petition asking for action. Watnall Road, through the Westville area of the town, floods regularly and is often closed after periods of heavy rainfall.
Councillor Shaw said: “This road is continually flooding and is a danger to life. Anytime there is even a small amount of rain, it floods and is often closed causing chaos across the town. We have continually raised this with County Council bosses as an urgent issue. Our pleas have fallen on deaf ears so far. We are calling on the council to sort out the flooding problems out once and for all.
Long Lane, which leads to Watnall from Watnall Road, is also affected by the flooding. Both roads were closed during Storm Babet and in total, ten times between October and December.
