We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report. An officer attended site on 04.09.25. There was no standing water present at the time of visit. 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 and watercourses can become overwhelmed. 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. Please note a large scale drainage scheme has been scheduled for this location. Thank you for reporting this matter.
State changed to: No further action
