A361 Gulley's all Blocked

Reported via desktop in the Blocked Drain / Gully category by jonathan tibbetts at 10:21, Tue 25 February 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

All the drains on the north and south bound A361 never get cleared and are now growing grass.

This has meant that Vantage Business Park flooded and the occupiers now face issues with insurance.

Please can we ask that the gulleys are cleared so that the rain water form the hill side can flow into the stream at the bottom of the valley.

The flooding also causes a major H&S risk during cold / freezing weather.

If the gulleys were cleared regularly (every 6 months) the water would be able to flow and drain efficiently.

Council ref: ENQ251038548
