This has been passed to the Highway Officer to investigate.
We know that an important part of any road network is the drainage system which is designed to carry water away from the road surface. Even when a gully is clean and well maintained it will only cope with a certain volume of water at one time, a sudden and heavy downpour can still cause flooding especially if the road is in a low lying area.
The Highway Officer is only able to inspect the drain when the water has cleared away, this will be done within 10 days and if required, an order will be raised to clear the drain.

Update
This area or problem has been identified as an area which requires extensive improvement to the drainage system in order to resolve this ongoing issue. Our Capital drainage team has been requested to assess this site and design solutions to address the problem as the system is not adequate in its current state.
Unfortunately, this is not a quick process so we would like to assure you that we will carry out maintenance and drainage clearance on a routine and ad-hoc basis and continue to closely monitor the area to ensure the safety to all residents and Highway users
