This has been reported before but nothing has been done for weeks and the leaf/twig/slurry build up is causing road flooding. Drains do not service themselves and without periodic clearing the problem will only get worse

Council ref: ENQ251032647

Asset ID: 290063623

  • This problem appears to have received no attention. The gutters, gulleys and drains on both sides of Barford Road are blocked with tree debris . The length of gutter on the East side between Orchard House and beyond St Christophers Lodge is particularly bad. Heavy rain will inevitably cause flooding and the blocked drains will direct water down my drive causing the flooding of my garage.
