Donegal County Council urged to review public drain maintenance ahead of predicted floods

Donegal County Council is being urged to review public storm drain maintenance procedures, particularly ahead of predicted floods.

The issue was raised at a meeting of Letterkenny Milford Municipal District by Cllr Declan Meehan, who said a number of areas were flooded during the recent storm.

He asked that a workshop take place, with officials suggested members send any specific items that they would like included in the agenda.

Cllr Meehan says this is one of those situations where a small maintenance cost can prevent a huge flood repair cost:
