Blocked drains and drain cover covered in earth on bend in Dark Lane
Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 19:29, Tue 10 May 2022
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 3516642.
There is a natural spring higher up Dark Lane causing water to cascade down the road. This is especially so when it rains and the water table rises. The water cannot run off into the drains at the bend in Dark Lane because the drains there - there are two - are blocked and one is vrtually covered in earth. This causes the water to pool and is dangerous to traffic and pedestrians. This has been like this for as long as I have been living here, approx 10 months.

Initially reported on the 10th May It was good to hear that you would be rectifying this issue "within the next month" as part of your "cyclic cleansing programme". I am sorry to say that it is now July and nothing has been done. Was the cyclic programme not undertaken or is the next month some other time? If you would like to discuss this you can call me on 07767672112 - David McLoughlin Many thanks

You have still not fixed the problem, or even attempted to. You said you would inclide it on your cyclic maintenance regime and you didn't. You also said you were investigating my request for an update.I have heard nothng. Can I elevate this to a complaint please.
