Road continually flooded and surface breaking up, 8th March
Between Plainsfield and the Forestry Hut on Cockercombe, there has been constant fast flowing water for several months, several inches deep. Remedial work was done here some time ago, but the drainage in place is completely overwhelmed with the volume of water. It appears that there is more water than there ever has been before - I wonder if a stream has been diverted in this direction? Anyway, water is now bubbling up through the tarmac in various places where the road is clearly breaking up.

Water is still flowing down the road., 24th January
Hello,
The Council's sub contractors have been out with the gully sucker along Over Stowey road. The water is still flowing down the road.
The issue is not the drain itself itself, but the pipe between the entrance of The Retreat and the small layby is completely blocked on both sides of the road.
Water will continue to flow down the road until these pipes are actually unblocked, the gully sucker will do nothing.
As you are probably aware this constant flowing water is significantly damaging the road surface, and last week the water froze and resulted in a quite serious accident outside of The Retreat, with a quite substantial garden wall being destroyed.
This issue has remained unresolved for quite a few years. I have mentioned before and spoken to an highways inspector who came out, but apart from sending the gully sucker, the issue has not been addressed.

Trees flanking Peartwater Road obstruction, debris and flooding., 8th December
There are a row of trees flanking the road to the right as you go into Peartwater Road. These used to be maintained and were just a hedge but have now become enormous. Regularly branches break off into the road and the leaves and debris in the seasonal fall block all the drains causing severe flooding at the top of the road at the junction. Cars park along this road and regularly are hit by branches. This also narrows the road at this point making collisions with parked cars and obscures the view of oncoming traffic. Children walk home along this road from school and an accident is unfortunately only a matter of time. This is a residential area but tractors and large machinery use this road regularly as we are a rural village and large parts of trees smashed into the road is a weekly occurrence. These large overhanging trees need to be reduced again to a manageable level before the inevitable happens.
