Action scheduled
Gully blocked immediately outside Kilmichael, Wybunbury Lane CW5 7JP
Reported via desktop in the Gully/Drainage category anonymously at 21:33, Tue 22 November 2022
Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 3985372.
We have been reporting blockages of this road surface gully for several years caused by a joint in the outlet pipe under the road restricting the flow. On 15 September 2022, repair work was started and a new 6inch diameter drainage pipe was installed under the road. Regrettably this new pipe has also blocked causing water to run down the road towards the A51. It appears that either the installation of the new pipe was not the right solution or the work was not carried correctly. Can you arrange for the gully to be cleared urgently and for an investigation to be carried into the work undertaken and why the pipe has blocked after such a short period of time.
