We have just moved in to our address and have had to deal with rising and residual damp on the side of our house wall which is barely three feet from the road. After heavy rain this week we have discovered the road floods badly right next to our property. As a result, vehicles driving through the flood absolutely soak the side of the house covering the windows and stonework with muddy water. The deep puddle shown in the photos doesn’t allow us to enter or exit our garden either. The most worrying fact is on 20/06/23 when the photos were taken, the water eventually drained away after a few hours, but must have drained away into our garden somehow - which begs the question is it just soaking under our house thus causing the damp to our property. There is a drain(culvert) on the opposite side of the road which drains away under the road and into our garden - but the water shown in the photos doesn’t drain into this as there is a clear camber in the road, pushing the water towards our property I have taken advice from a chartered surveyor who states this rain water will cause damage to our property if left unchecked Can we meet someone at our house to discuss this problem please as it’s becoming a concern to us We are at Shelley Farm, Netherwitton, NE614LP

  • Hello, I sent this original report in June 2023 and to date, I haven’t had any correspondence from NCC Meanwhile, we have had the wettest summer on record and the standing water continues to cause us problems. Is it possible to have some contact from Highways Department to discuss the situation, as we haven’t heard from anyone from NCC for three months Thank you
