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.

I saw the guys doing the work, they were working on a single drain on the other side of the road (that was clear!!), despite it being obvious that there was standing water over the two drains directly opposite them.

The yellow markings showing the direction and distance have long gone worn away before any work has commenced, yet alone completed, so the initial investigation will have to be done yet again. When the blockages either side of the road are cleared it would be sensible and beneficial to position the manhole at the lowest point.

To be clear, there are four drains in this area, the team that visited previously managed to clean the only one that wasn’t blocked. The reports above appear to referring to different drains. I have uploaded this image which shows the location of the three blocked drains (red), and the working drain (green)
