Sue Stevenson (Transportation Policy, Programmes and GIS Manager, Stockport Council) and Peter Dwyer (Drainage Engineer, Stockport Council) attended the meeting to present the results of a drainage investigation completed by the Highways & Transportation Drainage Team at Greave Primary School, Woodley on the 1 October 2016 on behalf of the Schools Organisation Team.

The following comments were made/ issues raised:-

·         The drainage investigation had found a significant number of defects within the existing drainage on the Greave Primary School site which included mass roots, broken pipes, deformed pipes, crushed pipes, encrustations, blockage and surface water runoff from the playground area due to broken edgings and small and inefficient gullies.

·         The existing surface water drainage system to Greave Primary School required maintenance works to provide a fully functional system to mitigate surface water runoff to surrounding land.

·         Agreement had been secured to complete the necessary remediation works as soon as practical. 

·         There was an additional defect in the public sewer outside the school site which would need to be reported to United Utilities.

·         It was commented that it was important that the drainage improvement works took place in advance of any additional building works at the site.

RESOLVED – (1) That the report be noted and the proposed actions detailed in the report welcomed.

(2) That Sue Stevenson and Peter Dwyer be thanked for their attendance.
