Blocked drain outside my garage door

Reported via mobile in the Blocked Ditch category anonymously at 16:41, Mon 16 September 2024

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6478207.

It's has been blocked for ages, totally backed up with soil. I have cleared as much as I can, several times, but my garage floods in heavy rain due to the blocked drain.
