Perpetual and dangerous flooding of the highway.

West Way, Wimbotsham. On the 90deg bend at the Stow Bridge end of Wimbotsham, just within the 30MPH limit. Precise location here:

Please refer to photos included with this report.

Every time there is any rainfall the inside of this bend floods across the road. There is a grip at this location that obviously cannot cope with the water that gathers here. Every time there is anything more than the lightest rainfall the road floods, often to more than half its width. The floodwater often becomes deep enough to immerse the kerb (and any potholes at the location). This forces vehicles heading toward Wimbotsham on to the wrong side of the road on a blind bend causing regular 'near misses' and indeed collisions.

The photos show the situation following modest rainfall on 23 09 20, the first after a prolonged dry period.

In winter, this area is permanently flooded and can be very hazardous as a result. It clearly needs a more robust drainage system.

The problem has existed for some years, but appears to be growing worse.
