Excessive surface water

Reported via mobile in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 09:56, Sat 29 November 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8479073.

It happens frequently on this stretch for a number of years, I'm surprised more accidents haven't occured. The poor road materials often leave excessive surface water in this area after downpours like this morning and yesterday. I've seen multiple cars aquaplaning as I have done in the past, regardless of drastically reducing speed. Nothing ever gets done and I feel it will only take a fatality for it to be addressed as required.
