On the 12th and 16th of August some streets in Kingsholm suffered from flash flooding due to heavy rain.
It is clearly a problem with the drainage system not being able to cope and that might be because:-
- The drains were blocked
- There is an underground blockage in the system
- The drainage system, because if its age doesn’t have the capacity
Jeremy Hilton has already asked the county council to clean out the drains in Kingsholm with special attention to these roads, which now have a works number.

“Have I missed any areas that had flooding? Please let me know.
“If you have photographic evidence can you email me digital photos that I can pass onto officers.
