Water erupting through the road and running down the slope for over 100 feet.

Reported via desktop in the Flooding category anonymously at 11:34, Tue 10 December 2024

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6843678.

This issue is not new. There is a blocked drain under the road and water has been erupting through the road and verge for a few weeks. Since Storm Darragh the point of the eruption has extended upwards along the road by about 30 feet, and has lifted a road drain grill about four inches above road level. The water extends onto the road surface from the verge by up to 2 feet. This is already a challenging road to walk along without the water hazard!

  • As of the 7th Jan, the grate at the top of the drain has fallen in. There is now a gaping hole in the road, just the right size to fit a car tyre…. Photo submitted was taken on Jan 6th.
