When I spoke to the team fixing the drains, they stated that the old clay pipes were cracked which had allowed root ingress. They also stated that they had cleared it as best as possible, but that it really needed a liner inserting in the pipes to stop the roots causing the same problem in future. Has this work been carried out or not or is it the councils intention to clear when it blocks again?
