Calls for maintenance of road gullies to prevent flooding

Letterkenny-Milford MD councillors are calling for road gullies to be properly maintained to help prevent flooding as wet weather sets in.

Cllr Donal ‘Mandy’ Kelly has requested a full inspection of gullies throughout the municipal district to ensure they are working correctly and are free of debris.

Cathaoirleach Cllr Pauric McGarvey also raised concerns about overgrowth, suggesting a lack of proper maintenance.

Cllr Kelly says he has seen several gullies with grass growing out of them, warning that the risk of flooding will increase as the weather worsens:
