How to report sewage, drainage and flooding issues in North Leigh.

In this period of high rainfall, North Leigh is experiencing many issues with sewage spills arising from manhole covers, and with blocked road drains causing localised flooding on the road surfaces in North Leigh.

In the first instance, please report these incidents to Thames Water via the following link:

https://www.thameswater.co.uk/help/report-a-problem

It is Thames Water’s responsibility to resolve these issues, please do not post this to Fix My Street as they are not the responsibility of Oxfordshire County Council and you will be referred back to Thames Water. Reporting to Fix My Street is appropriate where open drainage ditches are overflowing and need to be cleared out or re-dug by the County Council.

Please also inform the North Leigh Parish Clerk parishclerk@northleighparishcouncil.gov.uk of any incidents as the Parish Council is collating this data and District Councillor Harry St John and Parish Councillor Sarah Veasey are having regular discussions with Thames Water to hold them to account on these matters.

Thank you.
