Wrangle, Common Road, between Rose Cmmon and electric sub-station
Reported via desktop in the Standing water covering more than half the road category anonymously at 13:48, Fri 13 December 2024
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2826539.
Moderate rain causes standing water across full road surface in 2 places, the marker shows the southern most point. Water depth remains up to 15cm usually 24-48 hours after rain stops. A slit trench is needed thru the raised grass verges to drain floodwater into the field/ditch, same as done by contractor at north end of road when resurfaced.
If you need a Google-aerial photo marked just let me know.
3 locations require verge-trench:- (1) cut in east verge, half way up, at marker, 2m north of a telegraph pole, thru to the ditch/hedge. (2) cut in east verge, 2m south of boundary line of Rose Common, thru to ditch/hedge. (3) cut in west verge, 5m south of boundary line of Rose Common, thru to field.

Unimpressed by bureaucratic incompetence!
You do not inspect for road flooding when there's been no rain for 10-days.
20mm rain last night and road remains flooded 12-hours later this morning, across both places I told you about. Today your "inspector" is again conspicuous by their absence, not monitoring.
It's not for a dry-weather inspection, just cut the verge drainage channels 15cm deep at the 3-positions as instructed, give this alleged "inspector" a trench spade.
A ridiculous waste of taxpayer funds.
Take note, these same places of standing rainwater were the sites of spreading disintegration of the old previous road surface (not consolidated by your resurfacing contractor). You continue to ignore serious issues that can easily be remedied in the early stages at minimal cost.
