To report flooding due to blocked road gullies, contact the Roads team by Phone, Email or Text Message.
We maintain gullies and drainage channels on public roads and footways. The purpose of road drainage is to take rainwater run-off from the road or footpath.
Occasionally gullies become blocked, or covers are broken or missing and require additional maintenance.
If you are aware of a blocked gully or a broken or missing gully cover, please contact us.
Most manhole covers within the road are the responsibility of the public utilities. You can often recognise which utility is responsible by identification letters on the cover:
- Sewer covers, Fire Hydrants and Stopcocks - Scottish Water
- Telecommunication covers - British Telecom
- Gas valve covers - British Gas
If you are unsure who is responsible for a defective cover you can contact us and we will investigate and notify the appropriate utility company.
We are also the Local Flood Authority and as such can have a part to play in flooding outwith the road boundary. Further information can be found in our section on Flooding.
