    Hi,

    I think the wrong drain has been dealt with today, I saw the lorry at the other end of the street and it certainly was not looking at the drain by my house which I reported. This one is still badly blocked with debris.

    Please see attached photo for location of drain needing attention and please confirm,

    Thankyou.

  • Investigation: Completed (Defect Found), Defect Repair: No Action Necessary - Following further investigation the road is not part of the publicly maintainable highway. We are therefore not able to clean the gullies as previously advised. Please accept my apologies for the previous incorrect update. The area would currently fall under the responsibility of the housing developer.
