Completely blocked drain

Reported via mobile in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 16:46, Fri 18 July 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7899860.

The drain at what3words (quarrel.wage.policy) is completely full of mud and tree pieces. Water runs straight over the top of the drain cover and gathers down the hill where further drains are also blocked. The mud is spilled over the top of the drain cover so the pipe must be entirely full. It becomes a dangerous slip hazard in the rain when cycling
