Water leaking over pavement, tuned to slimy deathtrap

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

There's been water leaking across the pavement outside 39 Cumnor hill for years now. In the winter it froze and was dangerous, currently it's turned to slippery slime.

  • Thank you for your report. I have visited the site you pinpointed on the map, in front of 39 Cumnor Hill, see photos, and assessed the issue you have identified, see photos. I have cleared the slippery slime from our footway to find the source of the water leak, which was a land drainage pipe set into the wall of 39, see latest photos. As this pipe has been there for a long time (I assume when the wall was built) it is not an issue we are responsible for as the water source is on private land which I could not visit. I am, therefore, re-assigning this report to the Drainage Team to assess and investigate.

  • Looks like the pipe has been covered up, but either way pavement is no longer slimey. Thanks!
