Drains are getting blocked again

Reported via mobile in the Blocked Drain / Gully category anonymously at 15:37, Sun 3 August 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The two drains on begbroke lane, next to number 9, are quite blocked again. They couldn’t quite handle the small rain storm we just had, seems unlikely they will survive a bigger amount of water. Can we flush the whole thing out? It has only been a few months since we have been able to move back in after the last major flood kicked us out of our homes. Thanks.
