Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 2 weeks, 6 days, 18 hours, 37 minutes later. ref: 8737557.
For many months now water has been running down the driveway of 71 Malcolm Drive and onto the footpath. In cold weather this freezes and creates a dangerous large sheet of ice covering the whole of the footpath. This has been reported to Anglian Water who say it is not there responsibility and suggest contacting the council, hence this post.
