We close flooded roads and issue warnings to
safeguard the public who use our highways within North
Somerset.
Once floodwaters recede we will investigate why an area has
flooded and aim to improve drainage and clean road gullies once a
year.
However, we are not responsible for preventing flooding on
private property.
