For several years this drain has been blocked and currently getting worse to the extent that it nearly reaches my property which is down hill from the roadside drain. I'm concerned it could flood my property in heavy rain. Due to the water laying substantially over the road I'm also concerned that cars could aquaplane and cause serious injury or damage. The drain is just inside Porlock close on the right hand side.
