Highways Gullies

Due to the time of year and the recent high winds, Shropshire Council receive a number of calls regarding fallen leaves blocking highway gullies. While the Council will do their best to keep roads clear and remove leaves to avoid blockages, they can quickly return and cause problems to re-occur. With the swipe of a wellie boot, if it is safe to do so, leaves can easily be moved away from highway gullies, reducing the risk of a blockage or flood.  This is a useful message to pass around at this time of year, but obviously safety should be considered first and foremost.
