A letter was receive from Messrs. Gardner and Co., complaining that the
tenant of the "Jolly Gardner" public-house, Haye, Eastry, had suffered
damage to the extent of over £7 owing to the road surface water
flooding his land and store, and asking the Council to remedy the
nuisance and compensate the tenant.
The Clerk was directed to reply
that the Council could not admit liability for the damage and that the
flooding was no doubt caused by the filling up of a pond which was in
the corner of the garden, and which formerly took the road surface
water.
