Drain does not flow
Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 11:19, Tue 20 June 2023
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 462726.
This drain has not been cleaned for over a year and floods when too much rain comes as per the photo my drive and footpath is now flooded. The water company say this is the councils and not there’s to look after, as I have already rang them.

Can I please have an update as I have not had an update since June and now the weather turning I feel this issue needs to be fixed and the lack of communication is very poor from the council. As you can see the drain is more blocked now and vegetation is now growing in the drain due to it being so blocked.

This matter is not fixed !!! The work men have said that the pipe in the road is cracked therefore water is not flowing correctly and is then back filling into our drain causing the drive and path to flood, this matter still needs fixing

As you can see this has not been fixed and is causing local flooding to the drive due to the cracked pipe in the road back filling to the drain and also covering the path for residents.

I don’t understand how this has been fixed when there is a crack in the pipe in the road causing the water to back flow into ours.
