Report a problem with a drain

Tell us about a problem with a roadside drain (gully).

This could be that it is:

• blocked
• damaged
• missing its cover

We are not responsible for drains on private property, you should contact a plumber or the organisation that provides you with cover.

How to report it

Report the problem using the button below. There will be an option to upload a photo which can help us find the problem.

We will ask you to pinpoint the location of the drain on a map.

You will be asked for your phone number and email address, but you do not have to give them.

What happens next

We will aim to attend: 

• as soon as possible, and within 24 hours, if the drain problem could be dangerous
• within 3 days for a blocked or damaged drain

After the inspection we will:

• make the area safe
• attend and fix the problem (if appropriate)

If no action is needed we will close the report.
