The water is not draining away
Reported via mobile in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 16:57, Fri 3 October 2025
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8249304.
New drains by entrance to new Ida Homes estate have been incorrectly installed so water cannot drain away. Pedestrians are continually getting wet feet when crossing or have to cross elsewhere which defeats the object of both the crossing and drains.
