The drains on the left hand side of the road from Manor Close going up the hill to the church are ALL blocked

Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category by Kevin Binley at 14:08, Sunday 12 March 2023

Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 4303948.

All the drains from Manor Close going up Main Street are blocked and completely full with mud. No water can drain into them. This causes all rain water to pour down the entire length of the road from the church till past the Manor Close junction a distance of several hundred yards, causing flooding and dangerous driving conditions.

This can not be removed with a road sweeper. It requires the covers to be lifted and the accumulated mud to be dug out and the underground pipes to be jetted. This was reported in 2021 and nothing has been done
