Drains blocked

Reported via mobile in the Property Flooding category anonymously at 18:18, Friday 25 July 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The drains are still blocked and I have just received a notification that work has been completed.

The recent spells of heavy rain the blocked drains have led to flooding of the complete driveways for the property from the water running off the road surface.

The drone which are maintained by Oxfordshire Council are blocked and all of the water running down the roadway now find that the easiest route is to flood private priorities.

When the drains were properly maintained there was not a problem, lack of maintenance leading to the blocking of the drains is now causing damage to driveways and ingress into properties.
