Flooding over drain

Reported via desktop in the Blocked Drain / Gully category anonymously at 12:07, Monday 6 January 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

I think this drain has a “deep down” problem and has had for sometime (probably a few years). Every time there is heavy or prolonged rainfall, the water does not go away and the consequences are that the road outside my house (no.17) continually floods half way across the road. I always clear the visible parts of the drain of leaves and detritus and over the years various attempts have been made to clear the blockage but unfortunately nothing has worked. With our heavy rainfall getting worse and more frequent, I really think this needs sorting out before the next big storm. In The last storm “Darragh” (I believe): the whole of Schofields Way was flooded, right across from pavement to pavement within one hour of the heavy rain starting and this all emanated from the drain outside my house - it is currently (12.00 6th Jan), half way across the road and it has been only moderate rain and a bit of snow yesterday. Please do something about this a.s.a.p. In the last storm I only just managed to stop my garage from flooding by using masses of old sheets and carpeting as it had come right up to my garage doors (over a 4 car driveway) and was lapping under the garage doors before I realised.
