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

These drains have been blocked for several years, and it's about time that they should be cleared as a matter of some urgencey, even the footpath/cycleway now get flooded during times of heavy rainfall.

Time to elect better councillors. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a third-world country given how badly some things are managed. But certainly not getting third-world taxes!

This has still not been attended too, it needs to be sorted out ASAP, as every time we have any heavy rain at least half of the road gets flooded.

Blocked drain outside our building boundary is causing flooding during heavy rains. Drain blocked with debris

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.
