Speed hump causing water dam effect causing local flooding

The road hump across the road is raise across the whole road width. This creates a water dam effect if the gully in front gets blocked. This drain gets blocked regularly due to the speed hump stopping larger debris from washing downstream of the gully. Local houses were flooded recently.

Drains still not cleared. Speed hump still creating a dam across the road causing water to back up over dropped kerbs into properties. The council have engineered the road and speed humps after the houses were constructed and causing unacceptable flood risk. Installing temporary sandbags along a busy footpath and road way is not sustainable. The dropped kerb needs raising with a ramp access or the speed hump needs removing (not required in 20mph road). When were the gullies last jetted? I have dug out the blocked drain gully and rodded it but it seems the pipe is blocked further downstream.

Thank you for your report. This report has been close due to a full assessment of the location being carried out, and several units in the area have been located and logged for a full dig out and jet through of the system and pipes. This should alleviate the issue of the pooling by the hump and flooding on the surrounding highway. If the issue persists after the cleansing, we will re assess the speed hump for structural works to create a channel that runs along the kerb line to help water flow past and not pool at your driveway. Kind regards
