Water across road and build-up of algae

Reported via mobile in the No rain in 24 hours - water has increased or remained the same category anonymously at 16:17, Monday 5 August 2024

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6318824.

This is an ongoing problem that you have recorded as fixed. This is not the case. Water has been across the road at this location for many many months, despite the warm dry weather, and algae and slime has built up making it extremely hazardous. There have been many slips and falls by walkers and cyclists at this location (A&E reports can be provided if necessary). PLEASE do something about it.

Updates

  • 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.
