Drains are surcharging.

Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category by Geoffrey Gill (Clerk to Yardley Hastings PC) at 13:55, Sun 21 September 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8193656.

The recent burst water main further uphill at the junction of Lodge Road and the A428 has revealed that many of the drains along this section are blocked. One or more of them are surcharging. Whilst the burst water main remains unrepaired this is an opportunity to inspect and ascertain where the main problem is which is causing the surcharging
