Manhole leaking water onto road

Reported via mobile in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 22:46, Friday 15 March 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5720798.

The manhole on the carriageway towards to M20 is just on top of the raised bridge section of the road. It's been repaired many times where it has sunk, now there is water leaking from it onto the carriageway. Cars driving over it are spraying water from it over the cars behind and there is a clear trail of water from the traffic going over it. This has been like this for a few weeks now, clearlynthecdrain is blocked and needs cleaning before there is more rain and it gets dangerous
