Large standing water
Reported via desktop in the No rain in 24 hours - water has increased or remained the same category anonymously at 15:35, Thursday 16 January 2025
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6990415.
I believe 2 drains are blocked HOWEVER - the bin men wouldn't even take our bin, because he said 'I will have wet feet all day'. Also delivery drivers cross, DPD, Amazon, Evri - all complaining about it. The refuse collection I have been promised he will take double next time BUT it is STILL FLOODED. The first blocked drain was reported weeks ago, there are now 2 blocked drains and excess water.

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.
