All drains on the 6079 are blocked through the village of Acomb and to the A69 junction

Reported via desktop in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 14:11, Wed 10 December 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8529229.

None of the drain throughout the length of the 6079 in Acomb have been clear since the road was re-surfaced some time ago. Cars are driving up the middle of the road just off the A69 when rainwater floods the junction.

  • The drain between the village and the A69 are blocked to the top with mud and debris when they cleared the drains in the village you would have thought the operator of the gulley sucker would have had the intelligence to clear the rest but it seems that initiative is not his forte. All the drains were noted on my initial report.
