A1122 flooded again due to blocked gully

Sent to Norfolk County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5555318.

Photo of this report zoom

This is a recurring defect.

This gully was cleared fairly recently but it has blocked yet again.

A1122 at junction with St John’s Way, Downham Market.

Drain/gully in the centre of the roundabout, directly opposite the A1122 exit with the level crossing, is blocked or slow running, causing the roundabout to flood whenever there is rainfall. SEE PHOTO.

Often, about half the width of the road floods, as in the photo, but in heavy rain the entire width of the road can flood.

Being on a roundabout, this is a serious hazard, particularly to motorcycles.

  • The usual dismissive response from NCC Highways, who apparently do not consider the regular flooding of an A road roundabout to be deserving of their attention:

    ===

    New Status: No action has been taken at this time but we will continue to monitor the problem -We have assessed that the defect does not currently meet our intervention criteria. We will continue to monitor as part of normal scheduled inspections.

  • Defect is still being ignored by NCC Highways. Road still floods whenever it rains.
