Roadside drainage ditches blocked

The 15-20 roadside drainage ditches have not been cleared for 30 years. After prolonged rain the Stoke Row Road floods and the pedestrian footpath is impassable. Who do people who live in rural areas have to put up with flooded roads for the sake of a JCB tractor visiting every 1-2 years and clearing all the drainage ditches in the parish? I recently visited Bicester village and noticed the wonderful roads, pavements drainage, there’s no shortage of OCC money for that area. There is hope though, a local old man has been digging out the ditches to alleviate the flooded road.
