During any kind of heavy rainfall, the end of Church Close floods due to the drains being blocked, meaning the water has nowhere to go.

I have previously reported this issue twice (20th October 2023 #5116458 and 2nd January 2024 #5378791) - any time there is heavy rainfall, it floods.

With all of the rain today (23rd September 24), this is the worst it has been - causing people's driveways and front gardens to flood.

The last time it was reported, the report was closed without being investigated, but the underlying problem of the drains being blocked has never been fixed, even after the first report.
