Recess in Road causing splashing and damage to The Mill House

Reported via mobile in the Blocked Drain / Gully category anonymously at 13:58, Tue 2 January 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5378784.

Rainwater collects in a dent in the road to form a puddle. Cars driving past splash the wall of my house. The Mill House is a 18th century grade 2 listed building pointed with heritage grade lime mortar. The water from the puddle has caused a persistent damp patch on the wall which is damaging the outside of the wall and the inside of the house. Please level the road to prevent this damage.

  • Thank you for your enquiry. This issue has been passed onto the relevant team for investigation.

    State changed to: Investigating

  • We are seeking your assistance in addressing a concerning issue on our neighbourhood and our property.

    Picture 1 and 2: In these images, you can observe that the trees are visibly deteriorating and are dangerously close to the power lines. This poses a potential risk of damage to the wires, which could result in electricity cutoffs and pose a threat to pedestrians.

    Picture 3: The dead tree located behind our garden and does not belong to the opposite farm either. Could you please investigate whether it falls under the responsibility of the council and remove?

    Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to your guidance on how we can proceed to address these safety concerns.

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Best regards,

    Yingli

  • Probable ongoing, damp coming through the wall. No response from the council. One month and counting.

  • In response to your enquiry and the numerous others we have received regarding the recent flooding and associated drainage issues. We understand the inconvenience and distress that such incidents can cause, and we appreciate your patience as we work to address these concerns. Our team has been working diligently to assess the situation and implement necessary measures to mitigate the impact of flooding. However, due to the volume of enquiries and the complexity of the issues at hand, we have been unable to address each individual report.

    Therefore, after much thought we have decided to close down reports relating to drainage matters during the winter months as after investigating the data it was apparent that many of the fixmystreet reports/issues were caused by the sheer volume of rainwater that fell meaning that the drainage system was unable to cope due to ground water saturation. We are aware of many areas across the county where flooding occurred and are currently working in conjunction with district and parish council towards addressing these issues.

    If you feel your enquiry does not fall within the scope of the above, please raise a new report with a detailed description including photos where possible/ safe to do so via www.fixmystreet.comhttp://www.fixmystreet.com.

    We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Rest assured; we are committed to resolving these issues as quickly as possible.
