Fixed
Culvert blocked where the water enters and also blocked under the road about 2/3rds the way across.
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5970458.
On the B4058 Cotswold District / Stroud District boundary. 300 metres towards Horsley from Pyke Quarry recycling centre at the bottom of the dip in the road. Issue has been present for a number of years. I have raised it with Horsley parish council but nothing has been done. I often help people out who have broken down there. They are often older drivers, it’s always a cold wet night and it’s a very dangerous/fast piece of road. It’s a very distressing experience for these people and one that could be easily fixed - although I do think the culvert needs to be dug up to relive the blockage. I genuinely think someone could get hurt or worse at this location if nothing is done about it. Thank you for considering it.

We will investigate the issue. If additional clearance work is needed, the local highways team will prioritise the most urgent reports. Where possible, maintenance tasks will be grouped together in a schedule for efficiency.
Sometimes during periods of heavy rain, even a clear gully can be overwhelmed. Usually the water will drain away within an hour.
Every gully or drain the county council is responsible for is cleared at least once each year. Some drains in problem areas are cleared more frequently. You can find out more, including the gully emptying schedule on our website by visiting www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/highways/roads/road-maintenance
