Recent road resurfacing has raised the height of the road surface in front of the surface drain causing a large area of puddling prone to freezing in sub zero temperatures!

Reported via iOS in the Icy Road category anonymously at 08:22, Saturday 4 January 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6929005.

The new resurfacing is raised near to the road surface edge drain preventing adequate drainage thereby causing a large puddle to form. This puddle freezes in sub zero conditions causing dangerous sheet icing! See photos of retained puddling…
