Outside 18 Coppice Road and up towards no. 1
Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6450641.
There is heavy flooding during even mild rain which is clearly being caused by road gulleys being blocked solid with soil & leaves. This starts at 30 Coppice Road, and goes all the way up the road past my house at No. 18 and up to No. 1. When cars are driving past during these floods it’s splashing water/grit/stones onto the cars and front of houses on my side of the road. This is going to end up hurting someone if nothing is done. I can see previous reports in the local area which have been ignored.

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
