Vertical ironwork grids in Wood Street, Geddington have not been cleaned out for a long time.

Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 2604739.
Supplementary cleaning of the vertical ironwork grids (drains) in Wood Street, Geddington is being requested. The horizontal drains were cleaned out in the last few months but the vertical ones were not. A resident of Wood Street witnessed the most recent drain clean-out, and only the horizontal grids (those positioned in the gutter) were cleaned out. Those with vertical ironwork and built into the kerb were not touched. It appears that different clean-out equipment is needed for them and they have not been cleaned out for years it is thought. A build up of grass, debris and rubbish can be viewed in some of them. This applies to the whole of Wood Street, rather than to one particular drain.

I have not received an update relating to a date for the cleaning and clearing out of vertical drains that are built into the kerb. I am aware that these need different equipment to clean them out hence why they have not been cleaned for a long period of time. Can you give me an update as to their cleaning schedule please?
