00:00 Councilman So here and I'm a bit geeky but I absolutely love the fact that I've

00:03 come to check whether the last work that was done on the underpass is holding and

00:08 I need to find a crew here doing it again. It's absolutely fantastic.

00:13 Apparently you've got 34 different underpasses to jet across West Sussex

00:20 and naturally this one is included so it's getting exciting just watching and

00:26 to a by all accounts everything is tickety-boo and any silt that's in there

00:33 that was left in there will be no more so I'm really pleased to say that this

00:40 is the second time I've asked it. You can see what's going on. I can't see anything.

00:47 Thank you very much sir.

00:50 I didn't realise you were going to be here.

00:57 But as you can see the original issue here is not an issue anymore.

01:01 So well done everyone. Well done Horsham District Council, well done West Sussex County Council,

01:06 well done Govia Thames Link Railway and well done Network Rail because

01:12 everything is going to plan and as you can see here this is holding up

01:18 nicely as well. That is making sure all the runoff is not coming beyond that point.

01:25 It's absolutely incredible. I'm soaking wet. I sound like one of those

01:30 cameramen don't I on a weather forecast or newscasters.

01:36 Anyway, it's all getting in my eyes. Catch you later.
