Blocked surface water drain blocked

Reported via iOS anonymously at 12:54, Sunday 25 January 2026

Sent to East Hertfordshire District Council and Hertfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8762903.

Every time it rains this drain by the pedestrian crossing is blocked meaning you have to quickly press the button & stand well back as cars splash you every time. I am fed up getting drenched I reported this over a year ago & still nothing has been done

Updates

  • This has been an ongoing problem for over a year now . Come on HCC fix this blocked drain so I don’t get splashed every time I want to cross the road

  • Hertfordshire county council pull your finger out & fix this issue. This crossing is incredibly busy not that the subway next to Aldi is still flooded. This drain has been blocked for over 2 years what hope do we have on the subway pump being fixed this side of 2030 ?

  • This is an utter disgrace even after a 10 minute shower the drain is blocked so while waiting an eternity for the traffic lights to change you get splashed. Come on HCC get this drain cleared it’s a 10 minute job but it’s clear to see HCC don’t care.
