Fixed
Blocked drain
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9861379.
This has been reported a number of times. The problem is that the drain has been installed on top of an existing drain which is resulting in narrow slots and that's why it's blocked. The drain should be removed and the drain underneath should be cut but still used as a packer to allow the drain to function.
