Sewage in drain

Reported via desktop in the Flooding on Road category anonymously at 13:26, Fri 2 August 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 6 minutes later

The drain smells of sewage which can be seen at times, but difficult to photograph as it’s dark in the gully. During heavy rain it floods onto the road, as happened yesterday, Thursday 1st August. It then flowed down Wood Street and down Priory Mews. My neighbour informed OCC some days ago, but no response.

Council ref: ENQ241013086

  • This gully and drain hasn’t been jetted properly (or at all). Today it overflowed yet again, endangering Priory Mews.
