Hi,
I thought I'd post an update:
Environmental Health came to the property and said as it is ground water (it only happens when it rains), that the responsibility lay with the council and highways to stop the water causing hazardous conditions on road and pavement. Highways then attended to assess what could be done.
We waited and heard nothing, so chased them up and have now been told by the county council that the problem rests with us to contain or intercept the water before it meets the highway....round and round we go.
It's a shame it took this long to get to this point and we missed all the dry weather to carry out any work.
I guess it's now a case of finding a suitable contractor and try to find an affordable solution!
Although it has rained a lot less this year, it seems that now water has found that way out, it seems to happen every time it rains. One of the many folk to have had a look at the site has suggested that the water may not even stem from our property but just find that as it's access point...
