Blocked Drain Constantly Leads to Flooding of Footpath
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7813500.
This has been reported to you on several occasions and it has still not been cleared despite you stating it has! The drain is located about 40 metres from the Willersey Village sign on the B4632 Broadway Road. It is on the Broadway side of the Willersey Village sign. It is almost impossible to see because it is so clogged with soil and weeds. You have attended to clear it and have cleared the wrong drain. This blocked drain floods the footpath when it rains. Despite displaying previous photos you still have not managed to find it.

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.
