There are two drains outside my property on each side of the road which were completely blocked. One brave sole waded in cleared them to a certain extent so we managed to clear the water with help from neighbours with pumps etc. our house was flooded and next doors.

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6496647.
No34 Brookside. We live on the lowest part of the street so any heavy downpour collects outside.
I cannot remember seeing a drain cleaning vehicle around for over 4 years. There are blocked drains all over Tewkesbury full on mud

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.
