All kerbside drains

Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 12:54, Tuesday 15 April 2025

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2841405.

All of the kerbside drains along the Main Road in Fotherby (former A16) are blocked and not allowing surface water to enter them. This is from the drain marked in report 2841403 up to this drain and results in the grated drain becoming overwhelmed and extreme surface water flooding outside this farm and onto their property, and can affect other properties in the village as the road then runs downhill towards the Nursing Home. The attached photos show a piece of paper flowing past the entrance to the drain with the flow of water rather than being drawn into the drain. This was repeated at each drain on the road with the same result.

  • Thank you for contacting us. However we will not be taking action with this report as no safety issue or risk to property can be identified, and our site visit, conducted after a night of heavy rainfall, found the drainage at this location to be in good working order. Thank you for reporting this matter.
