7.1.5 Evidence summary
Hartlepool Borough Councils gully cleaning team operates a routine cleaning schedule based upon the routes undertaken by the Highways Inspectors but with different timeframes. The Council maintains over 21,000 gullies which are all recorded on the CONFIRM Asset Management System of which ad-hoc problematic gully locations are also recorded and actioned. This process highlights repeated flooding areas which are followed up with further extensive cleaning or deployment of camera equipment which may lead to structural modifications of the gully.
7.1.6 Further context on approach to drainage asset management
In addition to the above, Hartlepool Borough Council holds a monthly meeting attended by Highways Asset Officers, Drainage Engineers and Highways Operations personnel. Significant flooding issues which could cause a danger to the public or lead to degradation of the Highway surface are noted separately to the usual ad-hoc gully issues mentioned previously and are discussed within the meeting environment. Over the course of time this has proved extremely beneficial and a number of sizeable drainage schemes have been developed / improved upon which have played a large part in reducing risk for both motorists and pedestrians.
