A bit of rain

A river fell out of the sky and once again showed up the poor drainage around here.
There's still a dip on the Worcester Road OGL exit that fills with water right next to the footpath. The ironic puddle still spreads across half the lane outside SWT's own pumping station. The Gilgal to Mitton Street connection coats itself with water and, interestingly, so does the point just next to The Rough. Interesting because that's the part they've resurfaced.

Oh and Areley Common has a river flowing down it past and across Hermitage Way. I won't even begin on all the puddles that form next to the crossing points because 'that's where it drains to'.

Now sure this amount of rain was a bit unusual but this happens every time we have a prolonged shower that's no-where near as heavy - so who's responsible for the upkeep of the drainage?
