135 Grantham Road, Sleaford, NG34 7NR

Reported via desktop in the Flowing water, no risk to life or property category anonymously at 16:38, Sun 17 December 2023

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 483476.

Water from the road surface is running straight down the driveway of the property (135 Grantham Road, NG34 7NR) and causing flooding to the driveway. This is even after small amounts of rain. There is no proper drop-kerb for the property, and simply a tarmac "ramp", which means that any road surface water has no barrier to keep it on the road and divert it into a drain. Unfortunately, any water and road detritus simply runs straight onto the drive of the property, causing flooding and leaving a slippery, muddy residue. This property is inhabited by two elderly members of our community, who are forced to clean the driveway after every rainfall at potential risk to their own health.

  • Damage is now being caused to the property at 135 Grantham Road, Sleaford as the Local Authority has not yet fulfilled an effective repair to the structure of the road outside of the property, nor the drainage on the front part of the Local-Authority owned front apron. As picture show, the lower levels of brickwork are now struggling to dry after any amount of rainfall, due to the amount of water rushing off of the road due to poorly maintained and constructed kerbstones. This problem was first reported on 17th December 2023. The property is inhabited by elderly residents, and due to the fact the Local Authority has not yet fixed this issue, they remain at risk of slips and falls due to the mud flowing onto their driveway. They are forced to sweep this after every rainfall. Unacceptable level of service by a Local Authority.
