I made a report on 16th December about flooding on the road outside my house and after chasing several times, 3 drains were unblocked in June 2025 and my report was closed. Only 6 weeks later and the rain has caused all this flooding again, drains and gully’s on the road are blocked so the water is not flowing away and is a threat to flooding my house. Lots of drains along the road are overflowing and shooting out sewage water so there is a foul smell.
