TRURO – Heavy rainfall has again caused flooding issues in the area.

Truro police indicate the dike near Cobequid Educational Centre was breached on Sunday morning. As a result, Marshland Drive, Park Street at North, and Lorne Street at Queen streets have been closed.

Flooding has also closed Main Street at the subway between Truro and Bible Hill, with East Queen Street and the top of Young Street among the other areas affected Sunday.

RCMP are asking motorists to stay off the roads, unless necessary.

Imagine if this was down in the USA----yep just imagine how the state and federal governments would be hopping all over this reoccurring flooding and REALLY dealing with it with their highly respected engineers. Maybe one should call in some 'experts'. How hard can it be to reinforce and build up simple mud dykes--??? -- especially in this day and age with so much of every type of earth moving equipment so readily at hand. Very disappointed in the so called HONORABLE leadership and how did they get the name civil SERVANTS anyway??
