Blocked drain impossible to avoid flood

Reported via desktop in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category by Helen Belger at 11:43, Wednesday 5 November 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8379271.

The drain is sited on the south side of a sharp right hand bend with minimal visibility so it is impossible to avoid the flood which extends at least half way across the road
