  • Whenever there is heavy rainfall this drain gets blocked & floods the road above the kerb. Drain gets blocked by debris being pulled down Sywell road from farm gateway above Foxhill Farm access. Road side ditch cannot handle either volume of water, or full of greenery, causing water to spread onto road, bring greenery onto road surface.

    Photo to illustrate today's conditions 14th Jan 2021: it appears that either the gulley cleaning hasn't happened yet, or the design-capacity of the gulley is insufficient for the location and so may need to be reviewed.

  • Several people along Sywell Road who have witnessed the flooding over the years have said as well as the drain being changed to manage the volume of water, if kerbs were present further up the road there would not be the amount of silt washed down the road & contributing to the drain blockage.
