Teralba road. Mcintosh residence
We have lived in teralba road west Wallsend for nearly 14 years and have watched every time it rains for a few days the creek over flow at both bridges at bridge street and carrying ton stree t off Wallsend road blocking off the roads we wave to the neighbours on the other side. We have no curb and guttering and live on the low side of the street every time not just sometimes but every time it rains heavy our front lawn turns into a pool and most times the water flows Under our house and is probably the reason for our concrete peer corrosion the back yard fills and until recently when we put new drainage for the new shed the yard would turn into a swap for days . We had to get rid of the chooks as they were cut off on long rainy weeks. We also get bogged in the yard front and back which is painful due to not being able to park on the street. I know we are not the only ones in teralba road with these problems as I see the neighbors out digging when it rains their front yards to get the water to flow away and have helped others get unstuck when their cars have gotten bogged on their front lawns. I truly hope that teralba road can be on the flood plan and sort out our street as it sux we pay council rates to be left to drown
