Drainage cuts blocked

Reported via mobile in the Blocked Ditch category anonymously at 11:43, Mon 7 October 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6560792.

The road side drainage cuts haven't been cleared for years and no road runoff water can go down them now into the ditch. These need digging out and clearing to stop the flooding at the bottom of the road.

  • The 6 months deadline has passed and no work has been done. Road has repeatedly flooded due to this issue. Very disappointing given the ever rising council tax we pay.
