Request or Question
I am currently researching towards my final year dissertation project on transitioning into sustainable urban drainage systems, and requesting the following information on gully management within your authority under Scottish the freedom of information act;1. Number of reports per month of blocked gullies by public in year 2020? And the causes of these blockages?
2. How often do you clean your gullies each year?
3. How many gullies are maintained under your authority? And if possible, your yearly budget towards the management of those gullies.
Response
1.
Reasons for enquiries are generally due to sediment levels in the gully pots, leaves blocking the grating or due to the capacity of the main conveyance system which is usually the responsibility of Scottish Water.
Number of Drain/Gully enquiries from 01/01/20 - 31/12/20
