Councillors say residents are concerned about the risk of flooding.
A new report from Stockport council found there has been an 'increase in resident reports' about streets and pavements being affected by water from blocked drains in need of clearing.
"More resource in the form of a gully wagon is one solution, but it's about what can be afforded. That's a question for the cabinet to answer." In October last year, residents around Fir Road in Bramhall told the Manchester Evening News that blocked drains had left the street waterlogged and unusable after heavy rain.Stockport council officers have proposed a number of ways to avoid blocked drains in future.
Coun Wise added that the council's proposals on drain cleaning should "ensure residents are getting the service they have a right to expect around this fundamental issue."
