Flooding on Trinity Avenue - between Stanhope Road / Balfour Road, Northampton (NN2 6JN) - ongoing issue. Blocked drains and gullys are causing flooding to the road - never been cleaned. Worse especially during periods when there is a bit of rain. Water is over kerb level. Footpath inpassable for up to 10 metres because of the water flooding road and footpath - sprays water on anyone passing by too.

Your update today refers to "gully" but this affects more then one gully on both sides of the road.

Investigation: Completed (Defect Found), Defect Repair: Ongoing

Reported and drains are still blocked. Street cleaning is required for leaves from trees to prevent flooding. Ignored year after year.

This was reported by myself also - the access for disabled is appalling as you can see from the pictures the road floods and I had to take my sons wheelchair in the middle of the road to go to school - it isnt just the drains some smart Alec decided it was a good idea to plant trees all down the other side so whenever there was work done blocking the side with the new flats again we had to use the road as the trees overtake the path - even during flooding we can’t just cross the road and use the other side
-
The council have failed to respond to any report of litter here of the leaf build up that will be assisting in blocking the drains and causing the flooding.
-
Still flooding on both sides when it rains. Recently both footpaths were flooded and impassable with all pedestrians including kids on the way to school having to walk in the road around parked cars. Council are now saying they aim to clear leaves/mulch by 13/12/22. Let's see if that happens and how adequately they do it given their appalling record. Gullies further up street blocked too.
