Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 372789.
Three kerbside drains blocked. Locations. 1. South side of Magna Mile, 3 metres West of Kiln Hill. If there is a pale blue car preventing access to the drain, it belongs to 'The Rest' second house East of Kiln Hill. (Or try 'Fourways' on the corner of Kiln Hill/Magna Mile. 2. Drain IN Kiln Hill, three metres down the Hill on the RIGHT. Not always easily visible but the nettle growth has now been cut back to expose it. 3. Drain in Kiln Hill, down the Hill until it levels, bear right, it's on the left at the side of the River Bain, approx 50 metres from Magna Mile. 'Almost' opposite a house with white chippings on its drive. This drain is higher than the road to its right, hence this area floods across the road.
In summary. Although the North side of Magna Mile has been addressed with it's previous flooding from water leaving Lime Villas at speed, KIln Hill is susceptible to flooding because drain one does not allow water to flow away from the West (Market Rasen side). When the water turned the corner it 'jumps' the blocked drain number two. and then finally at the level, it cannot get to the drain three because drain 3 is higher than the road. George Smith

This fault will be fixed as part of our next cycle of works. We cut the grass three times a year and treat weeds twice a year between April and October. We clean highway drains once a year.
State changed to: No further action
