These two drains on Tramway Road near Bankside/Hightown Road are constantly pouring out smelly green water despite there being no rain for a while. When it does rain they flood right across the road making it impossible to walk past. The constant water is also destroying the road surface and creating potholes.

Council ref: ENQ251051468

Asset ID: 290055400
