Blocked gulley

Reported via mobile in the Blocked Drain / Gully category anonymously at 10:43, Sat 9 November 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The gulley doesn't drain and causes flooding of the adjacent houses. I WAS TOLD IT WAS CLEARED IN OCTOBER- IT WAS NOT. In October I spoke to the nice team who clearing gulleys on the road and they said the gulleys in the cul de sac weren't on their list and they'd get in trouble if they did something not on their list.

Council ref: ENQ241023601

    Monday 27th January Gulley still blocked. These photos were taken after a hail storm so you can see that the load on the gulley was small- there was a small amount of water produced slowly as the hail stones slowly melted. It was still too much.
