Blockage between 2 drains
Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 08:40, Wednesday 22 April 2026
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9333917.
Although the drain reported in item https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 2561217 looks ok to an initial view but there is a blockage downstream which means it overflows in moderately heavy rain contributing to the already heavy downhill flow on New Street. The state of the tarmac on the road suggests there may possibly be a collapse between this drain and the next down the hill which does seem to be ok and takes away about 50% of the overflow.
