Despite efforts to tackle the problem, earlier this month resident's complained of the "worst ever" flooding in the road.
And on Saturday afternoon the road was once again covered with inches of water.

Haven Road has been notorious for flooding for years, with water levels rising above the road almost every time there is a high tide.
Last year the issue became so bad one business, Velvis Cars, decided to relocate to West Bergholt.
Residents have understandably had enough of the issue.
Earlier this month ward councillor Mike Lilley (Lab, Old Heath and Hythe) said he had contacted senior officers at Colchester Council and environmental protection about the issue.
There was set to be a meeting between the parties involved to discuss options.
Essex County Council said at the time it "welcomes and looks forward to further discussions with all concerned parties as we try to identify a long-term solution together".
Anglian Water has said in the past it’s assets were not related to the flooding, whilst the Environment Agency believe it is an issue for Anglian Water and Essex County Council to resolve.
