3 blocked drains, reported in 2022 and still awaiting "cyclic cleanse"
Reported via mobile in the Blocked drain category by DoA ProperJob at 09:16, Wednesday 30 July 2025
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2851157.
Initially reported in 2022, maybe before, so in over 3 years, these three drains on the a16 main road (dangerous road as you've just reduced speed limit to 40mph) haven't been cleaned once? Yet flowline have been in the area "cleaning" fully functioning drains including the BRAND NEW ones on bolingbroke road, after only weeks of the road being opened!

We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because we've inspected and acknowledge that this gully/system is blocked, but because it is not causing a serious highway safety or property flooding issue we will not be ordering work at this time. Thank you for reporting this matter.

This A road has recently been reduced from a national speed limit to a 40mph limit so is obviously deemed a dangerous road. Regular maintenance is required.
State changed to: Open
