Tarmac has blocked the drains
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8275901.
B4017 from Preston rd to Saxton road resurface The new tarmac surface as it’s been put on top of old road surface, it means the surface is now higher and so the road drains now are nearly completely covered.. instead of at least a drain off of about 6 inches with tarmac below the tarmac is so high it has closed some and nearly covered others.The Drain covers are lifted. Should we have rain the water is now unable to drain off into the drain from the road gully’s..

Thank you for your enquiry. Your assumption that we have resurfaced on top of the existing surface is incorrect. The work carried out included full removal of the existing surfacing to a depth of 100mm so essentially we have put the new surface back to the original levels. Therefore the effectiveness of the drains should be the same as they previous to the resurfacing work. If you have noticed something perhaps we haven't, please could you be more specific about the location of any drains you feel have been impeded by our recent work. Kind regards, Highway Schemes Team.
