Blocked drain especially in heavy rainfall

Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 18:23, Wed 23 April 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7472080.

Every time we get heavy rainfall, this drain is blocked and floods over school lane, which leads onto a nasty corner onto the green. Vehicles maybe on the wrong side of the road to avoid the flooding. It os also affecting the residents border.
