It’s important that gullies (road drains) are kept clean and free of blockages. This reduces the risk of surface flooding.

Most gullies in the borough are cleaned every two years. Those in roads that are prone to flooding are cleaned more frequently.

If you are concerned that a gully in your road is blocked, you can report it to us.
