Investigating
Flooding NOT fixed by remedial work - only marginally less bad
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8410909.
The drain has not been moved. It is still in the WRONG place. I see the levels have been changed a little. Unfortunately that has NOT fixed the flooding. The water continues to pool at the pedestrian crossing. The pedestrian crossing is STILL used by hundreds of children every school day. The children (as you can see) can either be splashed by passing traffic due to flooding and wade through the MASSIVE puddle or they can move on the cycle path (where the drainage is fine). This WILL led to an accident involving children and bikes. I have been raising this issue for a year. I am NOT going to drop it, so you might as well get you contractors to FIX the problem PROPERLY.

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.
