Heavy downpours caused flooding in Crosspool on Saturday with the drainage system unable to cope with the volume of rain that fell.

Over a period of just a few minutes, water collected in the area at the bottom of Benty Lane where it joins Sandygate Road.

It doesn’t seem that the flood caused any lasting damage, with most of the water appeared to have drained away by today.

Did the downpour cause flooding problems on your road in Crosspool yesterday?
