Blocked road drain
Reported via desktop in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 17:55, Thu 30 October 2025
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8358065.
This gulley drain has been blocked as per picture for over 2 years now. It was reported to you over a year ago and the reply came back that it had been cleared! I suspect that the full section should be checked for clear flow as I think it is blocked further up the road as well. This caused ice to form on the path last year which was a danger to pedestrians.
