Flooding at Ferndale Drive and Deepdale Place junction

I continue to get complaints about blocked gullies causing ponding of water. The latest example is the terrible flooding that occurs at the junction of Ferndale Drive and Deepdale Place.
 
The council’s roads maintenance partnership has advised me that gullies are targeted for cleaning on an 18 month cycle in Dundee (which doesn’t seem enough to me). Broughty Ferry is programmed for commencement in mid-August in the Collingwood Street area then heading eastwards. 
 
The council has  been carrying out ad hoc cleans when required for flooding concerns. I have reported the problem in Ferndale Drive and have asked that it be treated with some urgency.
