Blockage under bridge causing road to flood
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
The road and neighbouring properties flooded on 23/09/24 partially due to blockage of the brook under the road bridge. The road flooded again yesterday evening. Debris from the bridge parapet, repaired earlier this year by Highways is still in the water causing a dam preventing the water flow. The brook is also backed up with silt, gravel and mud from the culvert that runs down and under the road and joins the brook. Local residents formed a work party this morning to clear leaves and mud from the road to prevent further blockage as road drains have still not been cleared despite assurances that this would be be done in October.

There is still a blockage in the section of the brook under the road bridge preventing water flowing away and the open section of the culvert at Brookside Cottage is silting up again as the water flow into the brook is impeded at the road bridge due to the blockage. Please can this be unblocked as OCC Highways are riparian owners of the brook under the road and residents have done all they can to clear the sections that they are rsponsible for upstream.
