Flooding in the Precinct

I was thinking about sitting outside Boscanova in the sun to have lunch today - then literally a few moments later the sky went black and we had torrential rain. By the time I finished my cup of tea the precinct had flooded!
Though this was particularly bad weather, issues with the gulleys and drainage have been bought up before with me by Steve, the Chairman of the Boscombe Traders.I have requested from the cabinet member that we pursue the plans for refurbishment of the precinct as discussed at the Boscombe area forum and the traders meetings last year.
