Investigating
This corner floods EVERY time it rains, regardless as to whether it is heavy, moderate or light rain. Traffic is forced over to the wrong side of the carriageway on a sharp corner. An accident waiting to happen. Mud has accumulated on the side of the road & may be causing the drain to reblock soon after it is cleared.
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6539711.
The sharp corner past the entrance to Wades farm, heading towards Slad.

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.
