The highway drainage system in Staffordshire is designed to take water away from the road surface, but even with a well-maintained system, problems can arise during periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall. We have a total gully asset level of in the region of 165,000+ gullies, therefore, associated works are prioritised accordingly

You can also report a blocked drain or flooding to the highways team.
