It's only been spitting here all day and light drizzle at worst. Can't see a problem at all unless it's a lot worse in the centre of Swindon that it is in the Western area.

My back garden is like a swamp. It's looking likely this could get called off.

Hasn't really rained hard since Tuesday night...and live just down the road from the CG.
If it stays like it is...then there is no problem.
If it chucks it down....?

The land around the CG doesn't drain too well.....its a clay based area. Which is why up until the late 19th century house builders avoided the area. A clue as to its nature can be found tucked away off Shrivenham Road, the 18th Century enclosure act farmhouse.....Marsh Farm. |
