Blocked drains causing road flooding

Reported via desktop in the Flooding of a road or pavement category anonymously at 18:10, Friday 5 January 2024

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 5402180.

I have reported this before and was informed that your contractor had cleared it but sadly not, just past the Whitchurch Village sign (heading towards Whitchurch) the drains aren’t taking away the rain which is making the road flood in both directions, I have to walk this path every day to get to work and it is treacherous, the cars, vans & lorries don’t slow down and a lady with a pram got soaked, also because of the flooding the pathways are now strewn with sticks, mud and general rubbish. This part of Whitchurch village seems to be a bit forgotten as the road surface has broken up and there is very little or none road markings and the gutters are full of road chippins and grass and mud.
