Three photos showing the flooding and the mud that is left behind. Grass verges are eroding resulting in even more mud. Delivery people are complaining. One person has fallen (fortunately nothing broken). We are in our 70’s and after rain it is too hazardous to walk out. The council that mows the lawn was unable to do either side of our drive due to the quagmire under the grass. Over the past few years the entrance to our driveway has eroded. Concrete upstands are needed to edge the grass.

There is clearly a problem with the drains. The situation in front of our driveway is getting worse. Council come out to clear drain and one hour later it is back again. Mud from the grass verge is on our drive, our drive has eroded away. Two people have fallen in the 4-6” of mud so it is now a hazard. It now needs urgent attention

There has been no further progress on fixing this problem. It is getting worse and apart from our driveway being destroyed in heavy rain the mud and water cascades down the road. It is waiting for an accident to happen. This situation has been continually reported for years but nothing is being done to fix it.
