Liable

There are often temporary signs like this on this stretch of Hathersage Road, one of the most important routes into Sheffield.

Sometimes they warn of ice, sometimes of floods. This one tells us the road is 'Liable to Flooding'. It's pretty obvious why this section is regularly flooded. The land on the far side slopes down onto the road and as mentioned before drains water across the road and onto the north side of Blacka.

It's been known about for many years. The result is serious danger of aqua planing and skidding. Yet it remains with no serious attempt to deal with the problem, merely these temporary signs. How long do we carry on with inadequate temporary 'solutions' and warnings before serious attention is given to this? I guess it will be until there is a very bad collision.

Instead the most obvious causes of the problem are ignored. Land managers continue to put sheep on the land when it badly needs to be allowed to become wooded - not the whole answer but at least a lot better than exploiting it for sheep. And trees would be the natural solution.

And when there is a bad accident who would be responsible?
