Public Access services for planning, building control and licensing applications will be unavailable 27 and 28 April due to essential maintenance.

Tell us about a problem with a roadside drain (gully).

This could be that it is:

  • blocked
  • damaged
  • missing its cover

If the problem could be dangerous, call us on 01454 868000 (24 hours, 7 days a week).

We are not responsible for drains on private property, you should contact a plumber or the organisation that provides you with cover.

How to report it

Report the problem using the button below. There will be an option to upload a photo which can help us find the problem.

We will ask you to pinpoint the location of the drain on a map.

You will be asked for your phone number and email address, but you do not have to give them.

What happens next

We will aim to attend: 

  • as soon as possible, and within 24 hours, if the drain problem could be dangerous
  • within 3 days for a blocked or damaged drain

After the inspection we will:

  • make the area safe
  • attend and fix the problem (if appropriate)

If no action is needed we will close the report.
