Drain blocked and water flooding on to property
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8781917.
Ivy cottage Dog Lane
As I look off my drive it’s on left hand side, as you look at the property it’s to the right hand side of the driveway
I believe the outlet pipe is fully blocked with Silt! It’s Been like that for a good while, but the drain has never failed to take the rainwater before (unless covered in leaves, 🍁 it is currently clear of leaves
If I didn’t divert the water away from the property there’s a very high chance it will cause flooding to my house.

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.
