2nd gate by Knightley Wood from the radar beacon, footpath gate floods in winter becoming impassable
Reported via desktop in the Gate - Damaged/ Missing category anonymously at 15:38, Thu 7 July 2022
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 3658705.
Photos try to show how fields both sides dip down to gate causing this. There is also a ditch dug out along the hedge line by path on the Mantles Heath side of gate, maybe this drains water towards gate too? This flooding happens every winter to a significant depth, is it possible to rectify before next winter? Thanks for your help

There are no stones to raise the area here yet and I wondered when this was to be scheduled (see reference above) The wet weather will be here soon making this impassable Thanks for your help

I have been reporting this blocked path for at least two years. The route is deeply flooded and totally impassable to anyone without wellington boots. Even with these it is necessary to wade through very deep water. I was promised that stone infill would be used to fill this flood. Why after 2 years has this still not been rectified
