Standing rainwater throughout Great Northern Terrace
Reported in the Flooding category anonymously at 15:59, Sat 27 July 2019
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 353887.
The photographs attached were taken today (27/07/19).
There are 5 or 6 points on the Great Northern Terrace road that floods every time there is slight heavy rain. I have lived on Great Northern Terrace for the last year and observed that the problem had persisted all year around whenever there is rain on the heavier side. At 3 of the flood points, the pedestrian pavement floods so bad that the pedestrians have to walk to the middle of the road to continue down Great Northern Terrace. Being splashed by rainwater from oncoming traffic is also a frequent occurrence throughout this road.
I would like to especially point out that as you can see in one of the photographs, there is a ridged pedestrian pavement that dips below the road level which frequently gets completely flooded. The people would have to either walk on the ridge or the road to get across. I have personally witnessed an old lady falling off the ridge while balancing on it to cross the flood. This is getting to be a very serious issue.
I have 12 photographs of the floods on the road in total. I would love to share these with you (there is an upload limit of 3 photographs for this report).
Please fix these issues caused by drainage problems/road unevenness as soon as possible before something fatal happens. Pedestrians are not able to use the pedestrian pavement properly and are forced to walk in the middle of the road throughout the road. Thank you very much for your help.
