  Highways Forum: Flooding\, Drainage &amp\; Winter Maintenance - 14th Octo
 ber 2026</a>\nSuffolk Highways Forum Highways Drainage: Understanding the 
 Network\, Maintenance and Responsibilities. Behind every gritted road is a
  winter service working around the clock. Discover how SCC prepares for sn
 ow\, ice and severe weather\, and learn about the people\, planning and te
 chnology that help keep Suffolk moving all winter long. This presentation 
 provides an overview of the highway drainage network\, explaining how high
 way gullies\, pipes\, ditches\, culverts and outfalls work together to man
 age surface water and reduce flood risk on the local highway network. The 
 session outlines Suffolk Highways' approach to drainage maintenance\, incl
 uding the annual cyclic gully cleansing programme\, reactive maintenance a
 ctivities\, investigations and improvement schemes. It also explains the c
 hallenges faced in managing drainage systems\, such as ageing infrastructu
 re\, increasing rainfall intensity\, third-party assets\, and capacity con
 straints in both highway and water company networks. Parish councils will 
 gain a better understanding of the respective responsibilities of Suffolk 
 Highways\, landowners\, riparian owners\, district councils and water comp
 anies\, as well as how drainage issues are reported\, assessed and priorit
 ised. The presentation aims to promote constructive partnership working\, 
 helping parish councils identify local drainage concerns\, understand the 
 limitations of existing systems\, and support efforts to improve network r
 esilience and reduce the impact of flooding on local communities. Click on
