    I worked on a case where road improvement works resulted in a farmers yard being flooded.
    Council eventually came out to rectify the issue.

    The cheap way councils re lay roads is to relay on to existing roads. There has been cases where bridge strikes have occured where councils have relayed the road and reduced clearance but without updating signage.

    Speak to your council. If that fails get an engineer (I know a good one!)
