I've now been reporting issues with this gulley for a number of months. During wet weather, anything longer than about half a day of rain this gulley floods significantly. It makes access to the church and local footpaths extremely difficult. ENQ 251067075 was closed on 10th February saying the gulley was clear. By 15th February I reported it again ENQ 261084805 the road way was flooded again and water draining extremely slowly over more than a week. Photos were attached. 1st April I received an update saying the issue was fixed. Due to the fact we hadn't had any significant rain for quite some time there was no water to clear. However I believe from the photos I took on 1st April that other than a visual look and no flood evident that nothing to solve the root cause of the problem was done. Photos attached, there was no visible sign of the grill being removed, no disturbance of mud. Also a stick/piece of wood that has been there for sometime hadn't moved. Do we really have to wait for more flooding to get some maintenance work carried out? I note when starting today's report and placing the X it says this was last cleaned on 25-9-25!
