Blocked drain, affecting traffic and causing damage
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9313101.
This drain has been blocked for some time. It's completely full of soil up to the very top. When it rains, water pools dramatically at this point, and traffic slows to avoid it on the A36. However if a driver doesn't spot it, there's a huge splash, which hits pedestrians, including my children several times on the way to and from school. The constant water splashing also is damaging the pavement right next to the drain, and my own driveway too, which will be expensive to repair. The drain needs to be cleared, or a better solution installed, for such a busy and important road.

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
