Gulley cleaner present in louth Town tonight (imagine the overtime costs) this drain was supposed to be added to the "next cycle of works" but the reports are not able to be found now. This drain has been blocked for over 2 years and overflows onto stewton lane after any sort of rainfall.

  • We’re sending you this message to let you know that we've inspected and acknowledge that this gully/system is blocked, but because it is not causing a serious highway safety or property flooding issue we will not be ordering work at this time. If the carriageway flooding mentioned in your report recurs, please contact us again, with photographs of the issue if possible, and we will investigate further. Thank you for reporting this matter.

  • Do you no longer carry out an annual cycle of works? Yet our council tax hasn't reduced?

  • This is an extract taken from Lincs highways obviously unused asset management plan "Arrangements will be made for non-functioning gullies to be recorded for detailed inspection and further work such as jetting."

    This drain has not been cleaned in over 2 years, perhaps 3 or more. I would like to see them prove otherwise
