herefordtlmescom + Thursday, January 14, 2016 THE HEREFORD TIMES 37 Floodwater builds up outside the couple’s Tillington home Flooding plagues a village A TILLINGTON couple say recent flash flooding has once again proved how urgent action is need- ed to solve a problem that has plagued the village for more than 20 years. Beryl and Michael White, who moved to the area two years ago, say the road outside their home is of- ten under water due to blocked and broken drain pipes. It means pedestrians are unable to access the route while cars driving through the flood often cause water to spray on to the couple’s property. Mrs White, 74, said: “At- tempts have been made to empty the gullies only to find that the pipes be- tween them are blocked and broken. “At the moment there is nowhere for the water to go and it is virtually im- possible for pedestrians to pass. Cars travelling too fast create waves which pass into our outbuildings and the build-up of mud Is now being splashed on to newly painted railings" The couple’ 5 large shed, which contains garden tools and machinery as By Jessica Phillips 01432 845884 jphtqiiherefordtimescom Twitter @HTnewsroom well as a small gym, has succumbed to floodwater. They said other residents have reported the problem repeatedly over the last 20 years but, despite vis- its from council officials, nothing had been done. “If we have any rain, half of the road is flooded all the time,” added Mrs White. Herefordshire Council said Balfour Beatty Living Places was aware of road flooding at the location and had recently visited the site. “While the annual budget for drainage works has al- ready been allocated for the current year, this site has been added to our list of areas for consideration for improvement works,” it read. “BBLP has dealt with flooding in the county over the last week and contin- ues to support residents across Herefordshire." Furniture retailers set to open new trading store within city A FURNITURE retailer will be opening its first Hereford store later this month creating seven jobs. Oak Furniture Land, the UK’s largest retailer of sol- id hardwood furniture, will create seven new jobs when it begins trading on Holm— er Road on January 23. Jason Davies, Oak Furni- ture Land‘s Regional Man- ager said: “The Hereford store is a major investment and plays a significant role in our on-going store open- ing programme across the UK, which will see us open- ing a new store each month for the next three years. “We are hoping that the opening of our store on the Salmon Retail Park will help strengthen the site as a destination for furniture shopping.“ To celebrate the start of trading, the company is hosting a champagne launch.
