Large area of standing water due to blocked gullies

Reported via mobile in the Blocked Drain / Gully category by Hugh Potter at 17:29, Thursday 30 January 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7060849.

3x gullies blocked preventing water draining to adjacent ditch. This creates a large area of standing water on the junction of Church/Somerton Roads. Pedestrians forced onto blind side of a sharp bend to walk around and road edges/drain covers are getting damaged. Likely to be silt/leaf etc debris, needs rodding through to unblock & MAINTENANCE. This occurs every winter at this location. Thanks.
