There are 3 drains in the gutter in Fleming Close and all are blocked. Fleming Close slopes down towards a car parking area and then towards number 2 (my house). Heavy rain, like we've just had and have had several times over the winter, causes the car park at the bottom of the Close to flood which then overflows directly towards my house. Unblocking these drains would stop the problem. On one recent occasion the only thing that stopped my house from flooding was the hard work of me and my neighbours to divert flood water away from my house for several hours. I had previously reported this but nothing's been done. Every time it rains my anxiety levels rise. Is this the time my house will flood? Who knows but it's awful having that hanging over my family when a simple drain clean could solve the problem. This has been a problem for a couple of years but nothing's been done. With storms and rainfall increasing I would appreciate some action.
