Report 8117254 Main Road Middleton Cheney What3Words lucky.tumblers.purest two drain still blocked after being told on FmS yesterday that they had been fixed. I have booked this issue many times, the last being the road was flooded, by the time a representative arrived the flooding had subsided and the report closed, no further action such as reporting the drains blocked was raised by the representative, so the drains flooded again. I booked this issue again on reference 8117254 to be told an highways officer attended and that an issue was found, it was then scheduled for repair/cleaning, this day arrived either 29th/30th September and nothing has been done to the two drains, one full of solid mud and the other on the same kerbside two or three feet from the other it is level with water. If this issue had been fixed it would have alleviated possible flooding onto the road and path this coming weekend with forecast of bad weather. Please can someone contact me with a reason the two drains haven't been cleared and how can the report be classed as fixed when they are still totally blocked. Thank you.
