Blocked drains and longstanding, regular flooding as a result on the High Street, Bathford including on a dangerous bend that frequently has serious accidents. This is causing serious continued issues with flooding of the road during heavy rain. At times the road has almost been impassable as the water coming down from the long hill and slope towards Bathford merge. Recent gas works digging up the pavement may also have exacerbated the silt. There are insufficient drains on the High Street and it needs to be surface cleaned as well to remove silt. The amount of water going down one of the drains when working has also caused trees to fall down into the road as the high volume of water is washing away soil and weakening roots as a result. This area has been the source of several near fatal accidents as people take the bend too fast and lose control, so please could you take action before we have a fatal accident. Thank you.
