Residents demand action on chronic flooding crisis
During a recent government meeting, community members voiced concerns regarding persistent flooding issues in their neighborhoods. One resident highlighted that while their own home remained unaffected during the last ten storms, three houses on their street experienced significant flooding. This resident expressed solidarity with those impacted, recalling similar flooding challenges faced two decades ago.

The discussion also brought attention to the lack of maintenance in local waterways, specifically mentioning that the Canal View street has never been dredged. The resident pointed out that a canal situated between Eddie Lane and Lex Court has similarly never undergone dredging, contributing to the ongoing flooding problems. The meeting underscored the urgent need for infrastructure improvements to address these widespread issues and prevent future damage to homes in the area.
