'Get the unemployed to clear leaves from Sheffield's streets to prevent flooding' - Reader's letter

Here we go again.

Sheffield City Council making excuses for the recent floods after the heavy rain.

Is it more than coincidence it’s nearly always the same places.

Yes it’s been a hot dry spell and the ground is hard but that’s no excuse.

The odd times they cut the grass verges, in a fashion, they leave all the grass to be blown about then it ends up in the gutters eventually blown or washed down the drains along with all the other rubbish that gets left in the gutters.

Some areas have got leaves on the ground which have been there over a year.

Time to get some on the dole to earn their money and send them out to clear them up.

They were very dangerous when covered in snow and ice.
