Blocked ditch likely to cause flooding

Reported via desktop in the Blocked Ditch category anonymously at 15:08, Tuesday 15 April 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7439409.

I have been forced to identify a drain nearest to the blocked ditch running along the southern border of Fairmoor Cemetery which is the issue. The ditch is currently dry but after periods of heavy rain there is a significant flow of water which, if the ditch is not cleared will likely cause flooding to our property
