Answer

Officials in my department have reviewed the recent flooding at Rugby Avenue, Bangor and consider the cause to be a build-up of leaves on gully gratings that prevented the surface water from entering the drainage system. When removed, the drainage system worked as designed and the flooding cleared. My officials will continue to monitor the system and take action as required.
