Drainage channel blocked

Reported via mobile in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 17:56, Fri 14 November 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8420756.

The whole drainage channel Is blocked and has vegetation causing serious overflowing into lane 3. This is an accident waiting to happen. One issue is the very dangerous loss of traction I suffered earlier today. The second issue is the water is thrown over onto vehicles traveling in the other direction, no doubt causing alarm and loss of vision. This needs sorting as a matter of urgency before it causes a serious high speed accident
