Gullies Cleaned by Denchworth Road Bridge

I have used some of my Area Stewardship Fund to have the gullies cleaned at this spot on the Denchworth Road by the bridge over the Letcombe Brook.  As the photo on the left shows, it frequently floods in this area because the County Council has not been doing gully emptying on a regular basis for several years.  When the engineer went out to have a look, he saw that the problem seemed to be a drainage channel was blocked with silt.  He managed to get it running with a drain rod and the other offlets are also to be cleared.  I am hoping that this work will help reduce the regular water pooling in this area.
