Most gullies or drains at the edge of the road get emptied and cleaned once every year to make sure water can flow away freely. A few are cleaned more frequently.
Report issues with blocked drains and gullies

If you find a blocked drain or gully you can report this to us using button at the top of the page or the link below:
