When it rains there is always flooding along the Brize Norton road and it doesn’t go into the drains. The drains appear to high since the road was resurfaced. Also weeds and grass are starting to grown in the road where the water lays. Cars travelling along the road can’t avoid the laying water and so pedestrians get splashed. This did not happen before the resurfacing. I don’t understand how the highways inspection does not see and rectify this problem.
