Flooding at Pedestrian crossing
Reported via desktop in the Pavement/footpath/cycleway/bridleway issue (NH) category anonymously at 10:35, Wed 17 September 2025
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8176716.
Hi, the pedestrian crossing over the A43 has become unusable due to water pooling up in front of the crossing. Water has been coming out of the grass bank behind the garden centre fence. This has been happening all summer, but has become increasingly worse during and after rain. Lorries and cars then drive through the floodwater and makes standing at the crossing impossible. The drainage along the kerb is also not taking the water away.
