Church road stow
Reported via mobile in the Standing water covering more than half the road category anonymously at 15:58, Sat 19 July 2025
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2850066.
As you can see from the photos the first two photos taken, then the second two photos were taken 40 mins apart. This is how quick this occurs! Surface water flooding, backing up the drains and sewage from the entire road coming up from the man hole on our driveways. Water is flowing from the top of the road. Straw in the water would suggest from the main road. We have supposed to have had this problem resolved! This happens every time it rains persistently for over 2 hours. The drains are reported to be blocked and a new man hole was placed. Judging by how fast the water has risen in 20 mins would suggest further man holes and drainage is blocked within the village and around the minster. Maybe it would be prudent to investigate the village drainage asap.
