Blocked linkage between two drains
Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category by Clive Hockley, Parish Chairman at 11:17, Fri 13 June 2025
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7704373.
There are two drains next to each other on the roadside. Water pours into the first one which has an underground pipe to the second drain. This is blocked. Water therefore runs above ground into the second drain, but quite a lot of the water also runs over the road - damaging the tarmac. The underground pipe needs clearing.
