I’d like to report a broken and blocked drain just outside Royal Court in Fairford Leys. As you can see from the attached photo, the drain cover is damaged and several of the sections are clogged with debris. This could cause trip hazard and during wet weather water could collect on the road and pavement, creating a hazard for pedestrians and cyclists

Updates

  • 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.
