TEN roads in Pendle which are susceptible to flooding will come under the spotlight at the meeting of the Lancashire Local (Pendle) committee on Tuesday.
Members will be asked to consider what action needs to be taken to address the problems.

A report lists the areas as:

Padiham bypass (junction with Guide Lane): Drainage improvements carried out in 2007 after water flowing down Guide Lane and across bypass in heavy rain. Location to be monitored but no further works planned.

Skipton Road, Foulridge: Surface water from road is piped directly into reservoir. When levels are high, pipe backs up and road floods. Drainage improvement works planned for this summer at Skipton Road-Langroyd Road junction to remove surface water.

Park Avenue, Barrowford: Highway drains cleared of tree roots. Pendle Council asked to check drainage system.

Greenberfield Lane, Barnoldswick: Drain in field to be dug out to clear blockage.

Coates Lane, Barnoldswick: Drainage holes to be provided by county council's bridges section.

Skipton Road, Barnoldswick: Site meeting with landowner requested.

Skipton Road, Earby: All highway drains cleared. Discussions on private drains taking place.

Water Street, Earby and Carriers Row, Laneshaw Bridge: Becks breach into highway after heavy rain. No highway works required.

Barnoldswick Road, Higherford:
After heavy rain, the adjacent land becomes saturated and due to ground levels is a problem that is not easily solved.
