Broken drain, flooding

Reported via mobile in the Blocked Drain / Gully category anonymously at 12:46, Mon 6 January 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6938395.

Drain was cleared a few weeks ago at bottom of hollow road Ox15. It was supposed to be roots in drain. A camera down the drain would be a useful diagnostic tool. Drain collapsed? Massive flood again almost in 2 houses

Council ref: ENQ251029924

Asset ID: 290193728

  • Sun 2/2 Road still flooded , access difficult. 2 days of rain last week and flood builds up and unable to drain. Drain is blocked and probably collapsed. Clearing the blockage has been a temporary fix and has not solved the real problem. Hopefully a full investigation will be carried out as to why small amounts of rain make this road inaccessible time after time after time.

  • Hello, 3 weeks after my first email, Hollow Road has not been remedied. We would be most grateful if the drain could be cleared and repaired asap. After a further few more hours of rain, the flood has increased considerably. Many thanks Sue Wainwright

  • 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.
