Blocked drain between Grays Hill and Littleton Lane

Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain: Blockage inside drain category anonymously at 14:14, Wed 26 April 2023

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 4488742.

There is a blocked drain on this junction and water creating small lake which started to flooding resident driveway. They recently resurfaced the road but if this problem won't be dealt shortly , it will damage the new tarmac.

It would be good to have a bigger trench with a pipe inside to make sure the water will reach the field.

  • This should read:

    It would be good to have a bigger trench with a drainage pipe inside to make sure the road surface water will drain into the Wellow Brook (River). The current drain is overgrown and is currently blocked.

    Ps Your map with the yellow marker needs to be the other side of Stony Littleton Lane towards the river and Dairy Hill. It is at the lowest point in the road and where the current blocked drain starts.

  • 06/11/2023 Still not fixed this will be very dangerous if iced over. It is currently 30cm deep after heavy rain. First reported in April 7months ago. How long does it take to clear a drain?

  • The problem with the lane flooding has been going on for at least 5 years now and still the problem hasn't bee sorted out. This weekend walkers had to walk on the verge to get by. With the mud present it is a danger to cyclists who use the Route 24 cycleway. An accident is sure to happen. As you can see from my past emails I have tried to resolve the situation with you but to no avail. I live near the flood and get constant complaints from all that use it. Please fix it soon.
