Customer challenge to original job below, not sure what the reply actually means and would like a call back to discuss/explain, thanks you:
On Wednesday 26 February at about 11am the bottom of our Road was flooded. The drains at the back of the road are blocked and the water that collects in the field behind flows from the back through the garden of N7 in the front. The drain in the front is blocked too and the water collects there. We opened the drain at number 7 and pumped the water there. This saved my house (N3) and house N4 from being flooded.

If the flooding is caused by a water leak we will report it to the relevant water company, who are responsible for water leaks.
There are occasions when flash flooding overloads the drain/gully, even when a drain/gully is clean and well maintained it can 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, this generally clears away over a matter of hours.
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.
