  • There are a total of three drain covers that show as completely blocked. This is causing a very large amount of water to surge down Houghton Hill and gather at the bottom to completely block the footpath.

  • Given the storms of late, the drains in this location are still blocked causing water to cascade down Houghton hill. Why has this not been cleared!

  • Not sure if this is a result of the drains being blocked or a water leak. the path on Houghton Hill (Used by many people), completely froze over with a thick layer. It was very dangerous and I witness two people struggling and slipping whilst I was there. PLEASE can the drains be fixed urgently to avoid possible injuries?

  • Please also note, that there are a total of 3 drains on this corner. ALL are blocked
