Pipe under the road is blocked

Reported via mobile in the The drain is blocked category anonymously at 10:33, Wed 10 December 2025

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8527520.

I see someone else has reported this and it’s been closed! As there’s a couple of inch’s of flowing water under the railway bridge, the pipe clearly hasn’t been cleared. It makes this road extremely dangerous when we get freezing conditions.

When the pipe is cleared, no water flows over the road, as it should be. This is a dangerous issue which needs to be addressed!

Updates

  • 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.

    Highways Customer Services Team,
    Gloucestershire Highways
