Culvert Blocked Again
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5783923.
Where the water passes under the road on Water Street and opposite The Old Schoolhouse is blocked and it’s flooding with water pouring down the road, down a hill and round a bend which is extremely dangerous to vehicles using the road especially in the dark and with the weather getting colder . Something needs to be done to stop this happening every few weeks . We’ve lived here for 34 years and it’s never been a problem but now it’s constantly blocking up and needs digging out under the road. The road surface is being washed away and so is the bank

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

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.
