Updates

  • Thank you for reporting a blocked drain or gully.

    If we can clear the blockage using a tanker with a suction hose, we will do this within 5 working days of your report.
    If more complex work is needed such as digging out compacted silt or repairing collapsed drains, it may take longer.
    If we cannot get access because of parked cars, we will return within 10 working days.

    Did you know…?
    We manage and maintain 17,900 road gullies across the borough. All high-risk gullies in areas known to have flooding issues are cleaned at least once a year and all other gullies are cleaned bi-annually.
