Road gully/drain Pinfold Green / A361 Badby not working

Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category by Geoff Pullin at 15:59, Sat 22 November 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8451989.

This road drain has not been working properly for years despite various goes at it. Every time it rains hard a very large puddle forms against the kerbstone. Pedestrians are likely to get drenched by cars exiting fast from A361 into Pinfold Green and keeping very close to the kerb knowing there are likely to be parked cars too near the junction. The puddle cannot be readily seen from southbound A361.

  • This drain is still blocked. The picture was taken today while still visible but is now completely submerged in water. This rain water from the slip road and A361 has nowhere else to go as there is no other drain.
