We suspect there could be a backboiler device fitted in our fireplace. Following heavy rainfall at the end of last yr it now gurgles very loudly when we light a fire and part of the chimney breast become too hot to touch (seems to be plasterboard rather than brick in one section). Could do with some help to remove or disable it to ensure the fire is safe to use - are there any local plumbers of builders who have experience with this kind of thing??

Thanks!

  The flood alleviation works have been completed. This thread is talking about large sections of the park being closed off for the setting up of the Gala festival. I am concerned at how much of the parks open areas ( sports fields and open fields opposite Harris boys) will be out of use by local people for quite a long time

  It's a "dogs on lead" zone, not a dog free zone. Although I agree people should not let their dogs chase wildlife, anywhere, not just there.

  Do rats eat ducklings? I'd have thought anything on four legs approaching a duckling would have been seen off by the parents, whereas the heron swooping down can just fly off with it 😥

  Why are the flood works taking so long ? And why do they need to close so much of the park to do them when most of the time nothing seems to be going on?
