Blocked Drain

Reported via desktop in the Flooding/drainage (NH) category anonymously at 21:08, Thu 18 December 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8565635.

I have reported an issue with water lying on the A38 several times to Highways England and no action has been taken.

When we have any significant amount of rainfall, water is collecting on the inside lane of the A38 and is being thrown over the front of our property. This is causing damp, dirtying our windows and doors, causing our dogs to become unsettled and is a risk to our windows.

Could you please aim to address this as quickly as conveniently possible. It is not a drainage issue but a road surface issue.

Updates

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

    Kind regards National Highways
