Blocked drains

Reported via mobile in the Flooding on Road category anonymously at 09:51, Wed 26 February 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7190991.

We live near the River Cherwell which is prone to flooding, there are flood warnings in our area after heavy rains. During the last flood alert when the river was high the drain system couldn't cope. I noticed our drains have not been cleaned for a long time. Even today after rain the streets are filling up with water where the drains are blocked.

Cleaning all the drains will help and solve the build up of water in the streets if the drain system is working properly
