The drain outside the Stow Veterinary Surgeons Milton under wychwood branch OX7 6JL has been almost completely tarmaced over. This has caused flooding of the whole building from water coming in the front door right opposite where the drain has been blocked with tarmac. This issue has been present since resurfacing. This is dangerous and unsanitary for our team clients and patients and the tarmac should never have been applied over the drain. Please urgently arrange to have the drain cleared.

Council ref: ENQ251055174
