Extensive surface water flooding on the road outside Aldebaran at the T-Junction.
Reported via desktop in the No rain in 24 hours - water has increased or remained the same category anonymously at 18:36, Sunday 5 January 2025

T-Junction outside Aldebaran. The flooding here is now the worst it has been in the 15yrs we have lived in the village. Every time it rains a large and deep pond of water completely covers the T-junction. It is impossible for pedestrians to cross without waterproof footwear. It is a hazard to traffic and cyclists. Recently, it froze creating even more danger. We have reported this problem before, as have many other local residents. When is something actually going to be done? There is a drainage ditch already in place.

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.
