Kennedy's
Kennedy's (Tyne Dock) - Further flooding tonight!
This was the scene at Tyne Dock at 7.00 p.m. this evening, outside of Kennedy's Bar. Despite recent announcements and assurances from Northumbrian Water that around 50 tonnes of silt had been removed from drainage pipes in the Tyne Dock area, an hour of moderate rain produced further flooding. Cars were reduced to a crawl and the stench of sewage was noxious, boards and rudimentary sandbags were placed at the two entrance doors to the popular bar which has suffered a number of closures in recent months to repair damage caused by floodwaters. For a period a patrol car from Northumbria Police force parked at right angles to the main A194 road to effectively close it to further traffic.
The tide was at it's lowest with high tide not due until 11.55 p.m.
Northumbrian Water, please take note, whatever efforts that you have put in so far are NOT WORKING.
