Blocked drain

Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 14:07, Fri 12 December 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8539333.

Drains at the top of Rushmere Road are blocked which causes issues with excess water at the bottom of Rushmere Road. The addition of mesh grills to the drain covers would eliminate the need for costly emptying, which is an annual requirement.
