  The drain was empty by the drain guy, but this hasn't fixed the problem. Looking down into the drain when dry it appears that there are two pipes leading out of the drain, i think that the lower drain isn't functioning only the top outlet. When the water fills up the drain it can't take the volume and we start to gather loads of water again. The water when overflows is currently going down the drain on the corner of St Johns and the Close. I'm not a plumber but think that the drain needs rodding.

• The rain on August 1st was very severe, The highway gullies at this location have been inspected and found to be functioning. Unfortunately, the issue in some areas during periods of severe and heavy rainfall is that surface water drainage assets can reach maximum capacity preventing rainfall from draining away quicker than usual from the road surface which can then cause problems from mild ponding to actual flooding of the area If this issue recurs during normal rainfall, please raise under a new report and we will re-investigate with a view to arranging remedial cleansing works. This report is now closed on FMS.
