Drain full of mud at bottom of Wood Lane
Reported via mobile in the The drain is blocked category anonymously at 11:50, Friday 6 September 2024
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6443226.
There is no yellow pin on the map which matches this drain. It was put in when Vicarage Lane was built but the drain is at the bottom of Wood Lane (NOT on the Avening road). I have just cleared the mud from the top but the drain is now completely blocked. The water coming down Wood Lane therefore pours over the pavement and onto the Avening road and down into town as the drain in the Avening road is also blocked.

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.
