Cheshire West are responsible for maintenance of the roadside drains (gullies). They have a reduced maintenance, as their website now explains :
"We aim to clean all drains on the public highway at least once every two years although some drains will be cleaned annually or twice a year based on risk of flooding. We have limited resource to additionally clean any drains outside of this schedule.
Before reporting any drain or gully issues, please check when the gully is programmed to be cleansed first. If there is no risk to property flooding or major road flooding, the gully will be cleansed as per the scheduled programme"
The maintenance information is found on a new map HERE
Check the CWAC Drainage & Flooding pages HERE for more information, and to report a blocked drain or a flooding problem.
The Parish Council pages detail responsibilities for amenities and infrastructure – Click HERE
If an issue is not addressed after it's reported, please let the Parish Council know, as they are sometimes able to escalate reported problems with the Highways engineers. Contact clerk@kelsall-pc.org.uk with the incident number.
