All the drains along the A4260 Oxford Road from the Bodicote Flyover to Adderbury are still blocked. This morning a crew came round and cleared our not at all blocked drains in Cherwell Heights (which I am very grateful for) but I wonder why these blocked drains and similar on Bankside are not being cleared. A tiny bit of rain and the drains are full to overfilling. The actual kerbs need clearing of debris as well as as it's now hard for cyclists to use the cycle lane. Please prioritise the things that are actually being reported to you.
