Flooding on road

Reported via desktop in the Flooding on Road category anonymously at 12:19, Friday 9 February 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later

When there is rain this section of road outside the Red Lion pub always floods making it impossible for pedestrians to be able to walk safely as there is no foot path on the other side of the road. My daughter has been unable to access the path without getting splashed or wading to get to her school bus as the road is busy at 8am, that 2 cars try to pass each other through the water, inevitably leading to the path being submerged and splashed.

    This is getting worse and even small amounts of rainfall this section of road floods and as it is a high use area for pedestrians, especially for children getting to / from school it is causing a serious hazard and regularly people are soaked by cars / vans / trucks driving through.

  • In response to your enquiry and the numerous others we have received regarding the recent flooding and associated drainage issues. We understand the inconvenience and distress that such incidents can cause, and we appreciate your patience as we work to address these concerns. Our team has been working diligently to assess the situation and implement necessary measures to mitigate the impact of flooding. However, due to the volume of enquiries and the complexity of the issues at hand, we have been unable to address each individual report.

    Therefore, after much thought we have decided to close down reports relating to drainage matters during the winter months as after investigating the data it was apparent that many of the fixmystreet reports/issues were caused by the sheer volume of rainwater that fell meaning that the drainage system was unable to cope due to ground water saturation. We are aware of many areas across the county where flooding occurred and are currently working in conjunction with district and parish council towards addressing these issues.

    If you feel your enquiry does not fall within the scope of the above, please raise a new report with a detailed description including photos where possible/ safe to do so via www.fixmystreet.comhttp://www.fixmystreet.com.

    We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Rest assured; we are committed to resolving these issues as quickly as possible.
