The main road through Duns Tew is flooded yet again and the flood water is getting into the sewage system which is seriously affecting residents of Longfield (see photo). There are flood warning signs which drivers are taking no notice of and speeding through the flood thereby causing the wash to enter the driveways of properties.

The water is draining off the fields.

The ditches cannot cope with the volume of water

It is still raining/snowing and the level of water will rise

PLEASE COULD ARRANGEMENTS BE MADE FOR A SITE VISIT AND FOR THE ROAD TO BE CLOSED.

THIS REQUIRES URGENT ATTENTION

Council ref: ENQ251029901

  • Thank you for your report. Our gully cleansing contractor has encountered difficulties in clearing the pipes to restore the drainage system’s functionality. The Oxfordshire County Council will now conduct additional investigations to determine the root cause of the drainage system failure and propose a solution. While we oversee highway drainage, it’s essential to consider other potential factors. These may include involvement from other service providers like Thames Water, or the issue could be related to a private ditch, stream, or culvert. For further details, you can visit the Oxfordshire Flood Toolkit : www.oxfordshirefloodtoolkit.com
