Fixed
2 blocked drains
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8293379.
Reported over two years ago and nothing done. Blockages prevent water draining causing very icy road in winter. There is NO footpath and it is much used by both pedestrians and vehicles. Someone came to clear, lifted a clump of grass which he discarded at side of road and went away saying it needed the proper equipment, never to be seen again. Isn't two years more than your promised "time scale" to et things done? Also handrail still missing in Dispensary Street, also reported two years ago. Both these matters have also been put on Fix My Street by councillor Swinbank to no avail.
