Broken paving slab and drainage water channel (metal).

Reported via mobile in the Slabs - Uneven / Damaged / Cracked category anonymously at 07:29, Saturday 10 January 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8660085.

There is a broken paving slab and a damaged water drainage channel across the footpath in front of 18 Ethel Street, NN1 5ES. Due to this issue, water is penetrating into the underground cellar, which becomes repeatedly flooded during heavy rainfall. I kindly request that this issue be resolved as a matter of urgency.
