Drain channel blocked
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7900683.
Drain channel completely blocked, never been cleared in at least 6 years, during heavy rainfall properties along the whole stretch are coming within millimetres of flooding, one of the residents managed to clear a part of it to keep the water at bay but that should not have to be done by a resident, especially when he was out in the pouring rain with his whole arm down the drain up to his shoulder trying to clear it
