Drain sunk and blocked, causing flooding to gardens and close to property.

Reported via mobile in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 17:26, Thursday 13 March 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7274722.

Anglian water have been out to investigate blocked rainwater drains. They have concluded that the council owned drain has become blocked and sunk causing flooding and rainwater to back up. There had been no rain for a week when that photo had been taken and still water is significantly backed up into the drain on my property.
