This drain is completely blocked and has not been cleared for years, causing water from the Ridgeway to run down into the village and increase it's flood risk. All of the drains on this stretch of Holloway road to the crossroads are completely blocked and causing flooding issues.

A permanent repair is already scheduled and will be carried out once access is resolved. There’s no need to submit an additional report, as the follow-up works are already logged in our system.
