Blocked drains/gulleys

Reported via iOS in the The drain is blocked category anonymously at 12:29, Saturday 28 September 2024

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6526694.

At the bottom of Laggar Lane where it connects to High Street in South Woodchester. Again this is totally blocked and water pours down and onto High Street where residents have to put sandbags at their doors to prevent flooding. The channel/gutter above this drain is blocked by large weeds in places so needs to be cleared too.

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.

    Highways Customer Services Team,
    Gloucestershire Highways
