Dave 5,622 #2 Posted November 26 Possibly for a similar reason why they didn't fill in the 'pond' near the bottom of Ravenhead Road. Well, they did for a short time and then the road was flooding all the time. So they dug it out again and made it into a sort of feature. The nearby units probably could have done without that. It could have been more parking space, but nature said NO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
