Drain clearly blocked above pipe off to main sewer

This drain overflows whenever it rains and adds the already considerable amount of water flowing down the High street. The danger of flooding at the bottom is therefore increased due to other drains also being blocked.

Updates

  • This has been passed to the Local Area Technician to investigate.

    We know that an important part of any road network is the drainage system which is designed to carry water away from the road surface. Even when a gully is clean and well maintained it will only cope with a certain volume of water at one time, a sudden and heavy downpour can still cause flooding especially if the road is in a low lying area.
