Flooding in Persh Lane

There's quite a substantial flood in Persh Lane following last night's heavy rain. 

It's caused by a blocked drainage gulley which has been reported to the County Council. 

Apart from the gulley, there's nowhere for the water to drain to as the fields either side are higher than the road surface. 

The water table is currently also virtually at road level and Complete Utilities have had to abandon work on installing broadband fibre on a stretch in this spot because their trench kept filling up with water - and that was before last night's rain.

Road issues are among many things that can be reported on line to either Gloucestershire County Council or Tewkesbury Borough Counci.

I've just heard that a jetter & sucker is coming tomorrow to deal with the gulley.
