Flooding at pedestrian crossing
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
Even moderate rain results in flooding here so that pedestrians get splashed by cars. This is very difficult for people with pushchairs going to the nursery at Exeter Hall

Drain is completely blocked. A little rain results in flooding of street and pavement and it’s very difficult to avoid being splashed by cars, in particular when out with buggies, small children etc.

The problem has been made worse by stone chippings put on the road which have filled the drain.
-
Flooding on pavement and across half of the road. Pedestrians getting soaked by cars. Most drains on Yarnton Road blocked; this has not been helped by chippings from recent road resurfacing. Chippings all over pavements as they have not been swept up from recent road surface. Yarnton road needs to be more pedestrian friendly as there are disabled people in wheelchairs living there.

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.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
