Roadside flooding
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6910491.
The reported flooding on Church End Lane persists. There are three roadside gullies which drain through a pipe into the adjacent field and ditch. Historically this has been a problem caused by a blockage at a manhole in the field but the water usually seeps away inside 24 hours. Recently preparation for the development of 21 houses has taken place in the field which has further impeded the drainage such that the water no longer drains away. This is a considerable road hazard after dark. Highways have previously been in contact with the land owners but this was some time ago.

Thank you for reporting a drainage or flooding issue.
We will investigate the issue. If additional clearance work is needed, the local highways team will prioritise the most urgent reports. Where possible, maintenance tasks will be grouped together in a schedule for efficiency.
Sometimes during periods of heavy rain, even a clear gully can be overwhelmed. Usually the water will drain away within an hour.
Every gully or drain the county council is responsible for is cleared at least once each year. Some drains in problem areas are cleared more frequently. You can find out more, including the gully emptying schedule on our website by visiting www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/highways/roads/road-maintenance
If your property is at risk of flooding please see the Flood Guide for advice and support by visiting www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/planning-and-environment/flood-risk-management/flooding-information/flood-guide
If you are driving: please never ignore road closures or enter flood water. This could put you or others in danger and invalidate your insurance.
We will provide updates about this report. Thank you again for taking the time to report this issue.
