Blocked and overgrown kerbside drains
Reported via mobile in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 20:42, Tue 3 September 2024
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6433072.
The kerbside drains along the north bound side of the A697 on the front street at Longframlington are all blocked with mud and have weeds now growing out of them. The whole purpose of these drains are to keep the Main Street from flooding, but are now so blocked up that any small amount of rain creates flooding right across the road.
