Investigation: Ongoing - Thank you for your enquiry. West Northants received approximately 140mm of rain over a short period of time, resulting in severe flash flooding in many areas. The heavy rainfall had the ability to overwhelm the surface water drainage system. If your report is a repeat flooding incident, please could update this enquiry with further information, so that we can investigate. If this is not a repeat incident, we will close the enquiry after 7 days and the highways team will continue to monitor the location

Hello, please could you say how often and when the drains at this spot are checked? When the rainfall is abnormally heavy, the water flows down both sides of the hill which constitutes Watering Lane. The road becomes a fast-flowing stream meeting where Glebe Farm Close meets Watering Lane.
