Overspilling surface water
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6500357.
For over 4yrs now I’ve been told main storm pipe on Longford lane has partially collapsed and cause network to build up. Carried drain on oxstalls overfills and the low spot on alder close then starts to flood. I’ve had to create a flow path to my garden to avoid a repeat of kitchen flooding which means most of the time the garden and garage flood.

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.
