Drop kerb too low allowing surface water to enter properties
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
Drop kerb from the road to properties 129 and 127 are too low, allowing surface water from the road to sit and flow into 129. The drop kerb would ideally need to be raised and tarmac bevelled up level with the path so that surface water can stay on the road and down drains (if they are clear). We have had 2 incidents of flooding in our road this year, resulting in surface water entering on our properties and other properties, some houses flooded too.

Thank you for your report. Our gully cleansing contractor has encountered difficulties in clearing the pipes to restore the drainage system’s functionality. The Oxfordshire County Council will now conduct additional investigations to determine the root cause of the drainage system failure and propose a solution. While we oversee highway drainage, it’s essential to consider other potential factors. These may include involvement from other service providers like Thames Water, or the issue could be related to a private ditch, stream, or culvert.
