Drain boiling up in wet weather

Reported via mobile in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 16:21, Wed 3 September 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8114640.

The drain boiler up in the rain and sends water across the road over a low kerb down my farmyard and into my grain store in a downpour. If either the drains worked or the kerb was higher I believe this would be averted. This afternoon the rain has entered the store and water has damaged both grain and cattle food.
