With so many gullies you will appreciate we can't service them all at the same time and that is why we have a programme of cyclic maintenance.
During the winter period when we respond to a call out for a blocked drain on the road, we find that the grate is typically covered by wet leaves or grass, which act like a plug and stops the water flowing freely.
If you see that a gully in your street has become blocked by leaves which can be easily brushed away, we would ask that you brush the blockage to one side - if it is safe to do so and without putting yourself or others at risk.
Gather up the leaves and dispose of them if you can.
During flood conditions, we provide a reactive service to clear overflowing ditches, gullies and drains on roads and pavements.
