Drain Grate Badly Blocked / Obstructed

Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 13:42, Thu 4 September 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8119045.

The drainage grate on this drain is badly blocked / obstructed by a large build-up of vegetation debris that has washed/run into the area covering it up during heavy rainfall.

This is preventing surface water from being able to drain away and as such a small river of water forms and flows along the edge of the road during heavy rainfall.

Please can the obstruction / blockage to the drain grate be cleared away.

Thank you
