Project Manager Adam Gallis said: “We appreciate how frustrating this situation is for the residents of St Peter’s Lane.

“The area of flooding is outside our scheme boundary and the responsibility of the local authority but we have visited those affected.

"We explained that our work to reconstruct and realign Catherine de Barnes Lane, which will tie it into the new Bickenhill Roundabout, is unfortunately at a stage where we cannot reopen the junction, even for a short period, until the water level subsides.

"The road surface is not suitable to drive on, even under supervision from our site team.

"We continue to liaise with the local authority to see if there is anything we can do to help those affected.”

The Royal Oak has flooded 11 times in four months according to staff.
