Inadequate drainage

Sent to Island Roads 20 minutes later. Enquiry ref: 16227309.
Flooding 2nd time in 13 months due to inadequate drainage on the road. Rain water (deluge) cascading off the downs and in to Ventnor comes down Pier Street and down the steps to the basement flat. There are no drains down Pier Street until after our steps so the water is pouring in from the road. First time (August 2021) we understood it was a freak event and the insurance covered the £50,000 to refit the flat - it was uninhabitable for 9 months). some flood defences installed and then it happens again in August 2022. We need better drainage and Island Roads to pay for more flood defences for our property, please.
