Enquiry Closed : Thank you for your enquiry. An inspection has been undertaken and the gully covers cleared. This has further been reported to HDC for road sweeping to remove all debris from the surrounding area. Please note, WSCC cannot guarantee that the highway drainage system will be 100% effective at all times. We have a routine cyclical maintenance programme for gulley emptying, which varies from a monthly cleanse to a four year cycle.
During and after excessive downpours, some systems capacity levels are breached, so may take some time for water to clear. Information regarding flooding, drainage and gullies can be found here:- https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/maintaining-roads-verges-and-pavements/road-and-roadside/flooding-drainage-and-gullies/
Should you experience that property is at risk or that an area is impassable due to flooding, please call 01243 642105 and report the issue as an emergency at the time of rainfall.
Regards, WSCC.
