Water on road

I would just like to tell you of the good brave work of Debby and Martin Walder at Blackwater, Road Newport.

On Monday night a drain got blocked outside their home, so Martin went out to unblock it.

Then Debby and Martin slowed down traffic that was traveling too fast to let them know that there was a two foot deep flood just around the bend and to drive on the other side of the road.

Martin stayed out in the bad weather for two hours.

I would like to say well done to the for their kindness on such a dreadful night when they could have stayed indoors in the warm and dry.

I am sure there were many others out there helping on the Island.
