These drains are still blocked
Reported via desktop in the The drain is blocked category anonymously at 09:45, Tuesday 21 January 2025
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7009831.
The drain MUST be cleared of silt and gravel otherwise flooding will continue to be a problem. I have lived here for more than six years and have never seen anyone clearing these gulleys and the degree of flooding is getting worse.

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.
