Blocked double drain
Reported via desktop in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 18:07, Saturday 29 November 2025
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8480699.
Drain is not working correctly due to it being blocked with debris, leaves, silt etc and requires the 'gully sucker'. This is a constant problem and requires a monthly schedule/clean of double drains either side of the road to 88 Abbey Meadows and reported numerous times.
