Extremely loud drain noise inside house

Outside 52 Cheltenham Road East on the new section of road that was installed after they omitted the drainage on 21/10/25

Loose drain that rattles when a car drives over it. It’s a busy main road.

This is affecting my quality of life and is a human right not to have loud noises continually daily from outside on a brand new drain. If this was from a house the council would deal with it.

I have a recording from inside my house and it’s unbearable. I shouldn’t have to put up with this for what is prob a quick fix. I am happy to pay for any repairs if it gets it done. I can’t cope much longer

Updates

  • 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.
