The flooding and debris along the footpath continues to get worse. The water is flowing, even though it has been dry weather for some time. There is a large pool of water upstream of the blocked culvert. Once we get some significant rainfall it is likely that the pool will overflow and potentially flood the houses in the area.

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.
