Road is flooding constantly!
Reported via mobile in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 13:03, Sat 29 November 2025
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8479765.
I would like to report the stretch of A63 road between Hessle and South Cave both East and West Bound, this is a road I travel daily and the drains are clearly either blocked or the road design is such that the carriageway is constantly underwater with serious Aquaplaning issues, a lack of lighting at times compounds the issue, it is only ever after an accident happens or the road needs to be closed for hours that any maintenance is carried out and then left until this happens again, can the stretch not have drains cleared on a regular basis or a change to the road, after suffering well over a year of the same stretch being closed overnight for barrier replacement and lighting the road is worse than ever, not sure if the previous works have caused these problems but don’t want to see someone dying in a fatal RTC before action is taken to rectify the issues. Could plans be put in place to check and clean drains more regularly not just after the road floods?? Many Thanks
