Pavement drain blocked.

Reported via mobile in the Footways and Pavement damage category anonymously at 14:50, Friday 10 October 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The metal gutter that is meant to run across the pavement between numbers 11 & 12 has been tarmacked over and blocked. It has been like this for at least five years and it's causing damage to both my and my neighbours house as water runs beneath our houses rather than out onto the street.

Council ref: ENQ251061708

  • Thank you for your enquiry. This sort of cross channel drain is part of the drainage from the adjacent properties, and as such, the maintenance falls to the property owner or occupier. I will raise a job to remove the tarmac which may have been left there from the resurfacing a couple of years ago. However, the general condition of the drainage is to be maintained by the owner.
