Drain still blocked!
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8409604.
Every time it rains a lane is blocked, pedestrians get splashed, people nearly knocked off their bikes, traffic goes onto ongoing traffic and so on. Reported 5 times before and nothing changes! I will no doubt get yet another cut and paste reply saying 'we are looking into it ...if resources and budgets allow etc' same every time. All the while, nothing, and I mean nothing changes. This will cause an accident and is totally avoidable by clearing the blocked drain. Ill sit back and wait for the cut and paste reply in next few days safe in the knowledge that no one will do anything until theres an accident!!.

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.
