Blocked roadside drains

Reported via mobile in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 22:05, Saturday 7 June 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7676167.

These drains have been blocked for well over a year now. In the winter the road becomes very dangerous when it freezes. There are school taxis that use this road and are putting themselves and the kids in danger due to skidding and not being able to stop when meeting the main road at the bottom. It will be tree roots causing the blockage
