Rain water does not run to drain following resurfacing.

Reported via mobile in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 21:33, Saturday 6 September 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

Following the resurfacing work last year rain water does not run to the surface drains, it puddles as the end of our driveway and then floods in waves up on to our property as cars drove through the puddles. This makes the pavements dangerous for pedestrians to use and is beginning to cause damage to our property.

Council ref: ENQ251058257

    This is after only 20 minutes rain. You can see that the water puddles rather than running to the drain. After more extensive rain the puddle comes up on to the pavement and cars driving through the puddle make wave all the way up onto our driveway.
