Drain blocked with mud, opposite bicycle shop, Newbury Street
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 7 minutes later
This is the 3rd time I have reported this blocked drain, but it's never been cleared. It's been full of mud for more than 2 years and the road floods around it. (there's grass growing in it now!). The tarmac edge is also starting to collapse. I note from other reports that this drain is not an isolated incident - there are many drains blocked in and around Newbury Street. The road floods every time it rains and pedestrians get splashed. The splashes from passing cars has also caused significant damage to the brick pointing on my house. PLEASE can there be robust clearance of the drains.
