Rain water is pooling up in front of my garage and then running into my back garden

Reported via mobile in the The drain is damaged category anonymously at 20:58, Wednesday 3 June 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9557370.

There currently is not a drain, but a drain is required. Infront of my garage water keeps pooling when it rains and runs into the garage under the door and also into my back garden. The nearest drain is 45 metres away, the road is level until around 20 metres from the drain so the surface water cannot drain away. Next to the boundary of my property on the highway, the tarmac is missing in various places and water is pooling. I would like a drain fitted infant of my garage on the highway and connected to the nearest drain. Thank you Amdrew Davis

Updates

  • 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.
