Vegetation blocking drains & floods private driveway
Reported via desktop in the Blocked Ditch Causing Flooding category anonymously at 14:04, Tue 6 September 2022
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 3806951.
I have reported this for the past 2 years. Every time it rains out driveway floods and silt runs Down our drive. It has now almost completely destroyed the surface on our driveway and washed away the manhole cover surrounds. Heavy vegetation on the bridge causing trapping of silt from woodland and park opposite not allowing drainage. I have been unblocking the grilles in the road myself to try and mitigate the problem, which is unsafe to do so on a busy road.
There seems to be an issue with drainage everytime there is heavy rainfall this floods the driveway. Yesterday with the amount of rain this started to flood and struggle to cope with the amount rainn
