Network Rail have a culvert that extracts water from the railway which then passes under the road/railway bridge and enters the water course as seen on the map. There are two drains, one on either side of the bridge within the verge on the road, not NWR land. The pipework running between the two drains seems to be blocked and need jetting or suction to free the blockage.

This has been passed to the Highway Officer 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.
The Highway Officer is only able to inspect the drain when the water has cleared away, this will be done within 10 days and if required, an order will be raised to clear the drain.
