Following my request to Island Roads, they have told me their District Steward and Drainage Engineer investigated the cause of the flooding by the bus stop opposite the hospital. They followed the watercourse to what appears to be a blocked outfall on the prison site.

The Drainage Engineer has spoken with the prison site manager who advised that they were aware of the issue and had instructed a drainage contractor to attend, but they had insufficient equipment to rectify the issue so should be re-attending shortly to deal with the blockage.

Once the prison site has sorted out the blockage, this should resolve the issue with the gullies slow draining the carriageway surface water.

Island Roads also followed up on my report about running water on Forest Road. They cleared and flushed through the gully outside the primary school on Forest Road with no apparent issues.
