Blocked drain still not cleared
Reported in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 04:12, Sun 26 July 2020
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 2216805.
Can you please advise when this drain will be cleared, along with other drains in the area. Our property drain was blocked in April and Anglian Water came and said that the drains in the street are all blocked making it all backup. The drains running the full length of Lumbertubs Rise are blocked and Anglian water said it was not there responsibility to maintain them. However it is adding more pressure onto the house drains which we have seen local residents having to instruct private firms to clear. Please deal with this as a priority as we keep taking time to report this yet keep getting fobbed off. If no action in clear these drains are done then I shall form a residents group in this area to make our situation know. I understand the Chronicle and Echo are eager to report such downfalls of our council. This issue has been present a number of years and we have done everything to ensure that our property has not been effected however as the sewerage has backed up so bad this time it blocked the toilets and we were unable to flush them clear.
