2 drains full of grit and mud
Reported via mobile in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category by Alan Tait at 14:06, Thursday 6 November 2025
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8384927.
There are 2 drains at this junction, one on each side of the road. Although I clear the leaves and road grit which cap off the drain gratings, the chambers beneath are now full and are preventing the surface water from drawing away. They both need to be cleaned out.
