Two drains cleared by highways Tuesday 3rd June are full of water and not draining. These 2 drains are crucial to keeping road surface water from flooding the property of The Homestead
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7671837.
Two drains at New Mills on Forest Road Lydney located at the rear entrance to the Norchard Steam Railway and access to the property The Homestead meaning road surface water runs down Forest Road heading south unable to go into the drain and then straight down a single track slope this flooding private dwelling of The Homestead. These drains were emptied/cleaned by highways on Tuesday 3rd June but are now full with water.

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.
