FLOODING CLOSES ROAD AT TWECHAR

​Understandably, a number of Twechar residents contacted me about this road closure, and I raised this with East Dunbartonshire Council and received the following update:

"We believe the flooding is being caused by an internal drainage issue within the Cemex site and officers have been attending site regularly throughout the week to ensure that the Plant Manager is dealing with the issue. Cemex currently have managed to reduce the water level by pumping the excess water away. The road has now been repaired and has been re-opened.
​
"Now that the water levels have reduced, our drainage team will arrange for a full inspection of the culvert and associated drainage system to locate the exact fault. Once this process is completed a notice will be issued to Cemex, if required, to arrange for the necessary repairs to be completed to prevent future occurrences".
