My Driveway Entrance
Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 5822068.
This problem is over 10 years old despite many letters to the local council nothing has been done. There is a grid to the right of my driveway as photograph position. My house is up for sale. Would you buy a house with this issue? Also I am expecting a delivery today but I doubt anyone will wade through the puddle to get up the driveway The postman cannot access our post box without the risk of getting a soaking from passing cars and lorry’s The puddle was worse an hour ago and it has not rained for at least 3 hours before I took the picture This is not an isolated problem on the A6 in the Disley area. I risk a drenching every time I walk into Disley from my house The drains are obviously blocked along the road but it doesn’t seem to be an issue beyond my house so the blockage is somewhere close to my property

Thank you for contacting Cheshire East Highways. We have logged your enquiry and passed it to a member of our team.
Our teams are working hard to manage and respond to reports from members of the public.
We are experiencing a high volume of enquiries and we will be prioritising those issues that present most risk to the travelling public. While we normally aim to provide you with a response within 20 working days, response times for all other reported issues may take longer than usual.
Thank you for your patience.

Thank you for your enquiry. Gully emptying programmes are based on condition data collected during previous schedules, as well as criteria such as road type, volume of traffic, the proximity of schools, hospitals and transport hubs and known flood risk areas. This targeted approach to gully emptying means that not all gullies will be emptied every year. We will however attend to specific issues where gullies are blocked and causing a danger to highway users or flooding to property.
From the details provided, it doesn’t appear that there is any immediate hazard or threat to property. However, if you can assist us by providing any further information and photographs, then we will consider what action is appropriate. This can be done either via the ‘report it’ option on the website at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/highways, or by telephone on 03001235020.
Further information on our approach is also available at https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/ highways_and_roads/ road-maintenance/ gullies-and-drains.aspx
