Risk of floods at:
Inverkeithing, near and on roundabouts. There can be floods near the high school
Dalgety Bay near the roundabouts at Aldi’s and Tesco
On route to Aberdour and Kirkcaldy on roads near fields that regularly flood
On route to Kincardine (Now would you believe this – on roads near fields that regularly flood)
I don’t understand why the authorities take little action to fix these issues.  There is an obvious pattern and may not take much to fix.
That is it from me and have a super Saturday.  The birds are quiet thinking about all those natural and man-made accidental ponds that they can have a quick dip in.
