Warrant Road blocked drains/ Flooding

Reported via iOS in the Standing water on the highway category by Richard Jones at 15:17, Tuesday 4 February 2025

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14168756.

Over past 5 years flooding is getting worse on this section of Warrant Road. No maintenance is done to clear drains. All road water runs along the gutter from AR Richards down to a dip in the road and the drain in front of houses: The View and Woodlands. (What 3 words ///input.argued.theory) Any more than 2 hours rain results in the road flooding and this invades our drives using our soakaways and run off areas into our gardens to stop the houses being flooded. Some work was done 3-4 years ago but all drains and road gutters are now blocked with mud and debris owing to heavy farm traffic from Helshaw Grange farmland. Recent heavy rain has been horrendous and is dangerous to traffic especially at night when visibility is poor. We can have serious lack of access for days at a time in prolonged rainy periods and deliveries are cancelled and waste collection not possible. There is work scheduled from 12 February to clear footpaths but this work does not include drains that is more important.
