Action on Barnwood Road blocked gullies !

Recent heavy rain has once again highlighted the faults with some of the gullies / drains along the main road through Barnwood. We have seen that surface water (ponding) at the junction with Church Lane does not drain away as it should, causing difficulties for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
Cllr David Brown told Spotlight, "various solutions have been tried by Gloucestershire Highways but still we have significant ponding at this junction every time there is a downpour. This may have been frustrating for Highways but it has also been frustrating for all those using this busy stretch of road. I have kept the pressure on and persistence has paid off as the Local Highways Manager has now agreed to take investigations a stage further'.
Work will be also be carried out to resolve the similar problem with ponding at the junction of Hucclecote Road and North Upton Lane.
