A Blocked - flooding road/path problem has been found
Reported via desktop in the Blocked - flooding road/path category by West Northamptonshire Council at 13:42, Wednesday 11 February 2026
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8893899.
The drain is located on the public pedestrian pathway directly behind our rear fence. It is positioned between the wooden fence and the blue metal fence, as shown in the attached photos. When it rains, water collects around this drain and does not drain away. The water then spreads across the footpath and towards our property. As this drain is located on a public footpath, we believe it forms part of the public drainage system
