Blocked drain

Reported via mobile in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 19:26, Thursday 6 March 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7237806.

Despite the road sweeper being here over past 2 days once again this drain has been missed and is blocked with leaves causing road flooding. It is missed everytime along with 1 outside community allotments. Is there not a plan of drain sites that can be used to ensure all drains are cleared.
