Requires root drilling
Reported via desktop in the The drain is blocked category by Lawrence Freeman at 09:23, Wed 19 June 2024
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6125833.
When this was reported, investigations were made, and further work needed to be scheduled in the summer when resources were available. Can this culvert be cleared out and tree roots removed to reinstate this drain and prevent further flooding during major rain storms?

Thank you for reporting a drainage or flooding issue.
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
If your property is at risk of flooding please see the Flood Guide for advice and support by visiting www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/planning-and-environment/flood-risk-management/flooding-information/flood-guide
If you are driving: please never ignore road closures or enter flood water. This could put you or others in danger and invalidate your insurance.
We will provide updates about this report. Thank you again for taking the time to report this issue.
