    Flooding across full carriageway with one vehicle broken down.

    This never used to happen until Thames Water dug the road up 3 years ago, now happens every time there is heavy rain.

    OCC please hold Thames Water to account and get this repaired properly as clearly the replacement drainage solution is insufficient

  • Thank you for your report and apologies for the delay in a response. Could you please let us know if this is still an issue or if this has now been resolved? If this is still an issue, if possible and safe to do so, could you please provide any new images and detailed location information of the issue so we can get this raised for repair faster. Many thanks and kind regards

  • It’s currently resolved due to lack of rain, but requires a permanent repair to unblock the drainage/ make good the works that Thames Water carried out when the road collapsed 3 years ago to prevent reoccurrence

  • Thank you for your report. There are around 147,000 gullies across Oxfordshire. In April 2025, we launched a programme to inspect every gully and catchpit in the county over 12 months. Working with our partners M Group and Drainline, we have completed 100% of the visits and cleaned 135,254 gullies at least once – around 92% of the total. Some gullies could not be cleaned despite repeat visits due to parked cars, or issues such as seized lids, these have been flagged for follow up visits. Others were found to have more complex defects and have been added to our capital drainage programme for in-depth investigation and repair.
    Our enhanced gully emptying programme continues into 2026/27, with higher risk areas cleaned annually and others on a two year cycle. Priorities are based on risk, using data from the countywide programme, flood mapping and Section 19 flood investigation reports. Regards
