Reported via desktop in the The drain is damaged category anonymously at 18:04, Tuesday 29 October 2024
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6673128.
Manhole cover is located mid way down Southall Terrace in grass verge. The drain is damaged rather than blocked. It was cleared last year and is continuing to overflow and run down road. Drain runs along grass verge and location of manhole is not within the road. Large volume of water pouring down road at peak times of rainfall.

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.
