Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8198794.
When this drain and it's soakaway were repaired by OCC, the contractor advised OCC that the soakway would fill with debris and be difficult to clean unless access to the downhill end of the soakaway was provided. This and the recent road resurfacing mean that the cottages are at risk of flooding.
