  • Road flooded across the width of the road outside the red lion. both road drains on the opposite side are full of sediment. this is a regular occurrence as this is the low point of wallingford road. please empty the gulley pots on a regular basis.

  • Road floods repeatedly after heavy rain and is a regular traffic hazard. Problem has persisted for a considerable period. Some road gullies are blocked. Others are wrongly positioned or road surface levels are not laid to correct falls to enable water to reach them. This section of road needs a proper survey, re-resign of levels and drainage, and reconstruction to current standards. Ad-hoc bodging by call-off contractors will not suffice.
