Action scheduled
By 155 Station Street Rippingale
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2802286.
The drain which takes surface water off the highway is blocked by root growth (I have been in the adjacent ditch and seen this.) during heavy rain the surface water congregates in deep pools outside 155 Station Street. This on 2 Jan 24 resulted in 155 Station Street being flooded downstairs and white goods and floor covering written off. This deep pooling is also a serious hazard to traffic. This blockage was previously reported to LCC who initially stated action would be taken but then this was withdrawn. For what reason is not clear? I was told by Cllr Martin Hill LCC to report such blockages for clearance action with you as there were serious implications for residents. Therefore I request this drain is unblocked.

Although this drain problem was reported in Apr 24, some 5 months ago, for some reason the programmed works have not been completed. As can be seen from the attached recent photo this drain remains completely blocked and with inclement weather fast approaching with the probability of heavy rain if this drain is not cleared there is a very high risk 155 Station St will be flooded again and the road swamped as earlier this year. It is requested the drain is cleared as soon as possible.
