The County has received a large amount of rainfall in a short space of time and as such we are having to prioritise flooding sites which pose a risk to life or significant risk of internal flooding. It’s worth noting that at times of extreme weather even well-maintained drains can become overwhelmed and at the moment gullies may not be able to drain away into watercourses and sewers which are at capacity or backing up. Should you feel your property is at risk your first action should be to contact the emergency services who will assess the situation and act accordingly. Whilst the report does indicate property flooding we do need further information before a more detailed investigation can take place. Thank you for reporting this matter.

Please do not close this case down, the drains were still blocked hours after the rain had finished. There are several in East Street that are blocked from draining down to the last one in the series. I suggest instead of simply assuming it was due to the amount of rain, the amount we had any drain should be capable of coping with, a further investigation should occur. Thanks, Cllr Chris Catt
