• We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because 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. Thank you for reporting this matter.

• This A road has recently been reduced from a national speed limit to a 40mph limit so is obviously deemed a dangerous road. Regular maintenance is required.
