The surface water drain is blocked. I’ve checked and it’s filled up with silt, therefore rainwater isn’t draining through it. This resulted in flooding of our house, garage and garden (the rainwater ran down our driveway instead of the drain).

  • This week’s flooding and overflowing gullies are largely the result of extreme weather and the drainage systems all exceeding capacity, rather the drains themselves being blocked. If your road is flooded, please call the emergency hotline number.
    We will continue to monitor the area in a more moderate amount of rainfall and assess at that stage if drains are blocked and if remedial works are required

    State changed to: No further action
