Surface water drainage gulley still completely blocked after 2 years
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7136084.
The highway drain outside Orchard Lea was cleared today but the gulley itself still remains partially blocked outside Lauderdale, and completely blocked between Orchard Lea and The Willows, so that water comes up out of the manhole covers instead of down the drain and continuing down the gulley through the village to the River Avon at the Fleet.It had been like this for 2 years and the blockages have been identified by CCTV survey and shared with Highways

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.
