Fixed
On the corner outside Hall Farm
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 493457.
The road used to have a drain on the corner to prevent flooding. When the recent road re-surfacing was carried out the drain was completely covered with tarmac and is no longer visible or functioning. Our house nearly flooded for the first time ever owing to build-up of water on the road where the drain used to be. It can be found with a metal detector. It must be reinstated to prevent flooding of my property.

It is now nearly three months since I reported this issue. I am in a flood risk area and the drain has been tarmacked over.The last update is nearly two months ago and says that the job has been passed to a highway gang. I would like to get a timetable for the drain to be unblocked please?
