• The highway gullies at this location have been inspected and found to be functioning. Unfortunately, the issue in some areas during periods of severe and heavy rainfall is that surface water drainage assets can reach maximum capacity preventing rainfall from draining away quicker than usual from the road surface which can then cause problems from mild ponding to actual flooding of the area If this issue recurs during normal rainfall, please raise under a new report and we will re-investigate with a view to arranging remedial cleansing works. This report is now closed on FMS.

• This is a photo of the drain half blocked with mud and therefore only 50% functioning.

  I have asked for the mud to be cleared so that it is fully functioning.

  There are shop premises nearby with valuable fixtures, fittings and products that would be damaged by flooding and the businesses closed during drying out and expensive refitting and replenishment.

  Please let me know whether the drain is clear of mud ie fully functioning.
