Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7994210.
The drains on the right handside coming down from the town are blocked and have been like it for a couple of years. When it’s rains the water goes from drain to drain because they are totally blocked. When I reported it about year ago was told it’s not flooding any property so it will not be done. I told your men on the sucker lorry when they were in town what the problem was but obviously didn’t use there iniative and go and sort it . Every time when walking down this red and it’s raining pedestrians get wet because of the amount of water. Please sort this. There are at least 4 blocked outside the Brackley business campus and the industrial estate. The whole road probably needs doing from top to bottom on both sides. And don’t tell me like other people have all drains are cleaned out every six months because I don’t believe it. Regards Paul King.

A member public would like an update to see what date this would be scheduled to be completed. The drain is blocked and there is a lot of debris within this drain. Looking through the drain there is a lot mud which needs clearing.
