Drain overflowed and shed water into property
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6499619.
This drain repeatedly fails to carry water away. And with the 2 drains up the street (already reported today) also blocked this drain ends up overwhelmed. This drain is clearly not big enough to cope with the water it needs to manage and needs improving

Drain unable to cope with the water again under light rain when we are anticipating heavy rain overnight according to weather updates. You can see the water running down the road to this grid which constantly becomes overwhelmed. This has occurred many times and although the drain has been cleared through historically it is unable to cope with heavier rain water and is an ongoing issue that requires a long term fix.
