Blocked drains

Reported via mobile in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 21:36, Tue 2 July 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6183813.

Drains on the roadside northbound where the A1 joins the A697 are all blocked by gravel and soil. When it rains the water runs down this road and regularly floods the side of the A1. We have unblocked these drains before, but I think they are too blocked for us this time. Thank you
