Blocked drain flooding road and path
Reported via mobile in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 15:26, Wed 10 July 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6214267.
Apparently this was reported as far back as Oct 2023. I used a strong broom handle to try to dislodge material, but the drain is blocked by a build up of sediment.
