Every roadside drain on Whorral Bank has not been cleaned for years

Reported via desktop in the Blocked - Flooding of Private Property category anonymously at 13:23, Wednesday 3 September 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8113395.

The previous report was marked 'fixed'. Not one drain has been cleaned. Weeds are growing in the silt. How long before trees start growing in the gullies? These drains have not seen a gulley sucker for three years at least.
