Drains not working

Reported via desktop in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 12:47, Wed 27 November 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6791622.

Water flows over the road and cant get to the drains because of all the top soil / grass / vegetation. Water then flows along the road and cars end up aquaplaning. I have placed this push pin at this location but its for a few km each side or even further. Please can the obstructions be removed and the drains cleaned out. Its the type of thing that could easily be done between 1:00 am and 3:00 am.

All the flooding that gets talked about is actually just poor maintenance. I noticed this problem about 18 months ago and was thinking that somebody else would notice and report it.
