We can't blame Blundellsands Labour Councillors for the rain but we can hold them responsible for failing to clear the gutters and gullies of fallen leaves to prevent floods like this occurring.
There's an old saying "Fix the roof while the sun shines" rather than wait for more costly problems later.
The residents' needs in Blundellsands are being ignored by our Labour Councillors who continually blame somebody else for failing to maintain the roads and drainage in the area.
Leader of Blundellsands Conservative action team Martyn Barber said: "A Conservative Council would take a more pro-active approach to managing and maintaining our roads and footpaths".
