Flooded area of road and pavement B1081
Sent to Rutland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6519790.
Mud and straw flows down from Pickworth Road on to the main street, B1081, as it flows to the drain located on the road outside the Stamford Osteopathic Clinic building. Consequently, this area floods. This flooding covers the main road, B1082, into the car park of the Stamford Osteopathic Clinic and covers the pavement used by pedestrians. When this happens pedestrians are unable to walk along the pavement and through this huge area of water and sometimes have to cross over to the other side of the road or have to walk into the road to avoid it. This pavement is used mainly by parents and young children walking to and from the nearby school. Thank you for your time and help on this matter.

We have now inspected the defect according to our highways inspection policy which can be viewed at https://www.rutland.gov.uk/ roads-transport-parking/ highways/ highways-plans-policies/ highway-inspection-policy.
On receipt of reports, our Highway Inspection team make an assessment to determine if works are required. Only the larger defects which meet the safety intervention levels as outlined in the Inspection Policy are repaired. Any remaining defects are monitored for deterioration and added to other programmes of work for repair when resources are available. We also monitor and inspect the quality of repairs aiming to ensure that any work is carried out to the best and most appropriate standard.
The limited resource available each year is insufficient to address all defects identified. For this reason, whilst priority defects will receive a repair within appropriate timescales as set out by the above policy, more minor defects will not be scheduled for immediate repair.
As the defect you have reported does not meet the required level for an immediate repair it will not be repaired at this stage. Thank you for reporting this to us and this report has been closed.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
