All of the drains on Louth Road (other than one at the top)
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2861551.
All of these drains bar the one at the top are blocked. I have cleared out any leaf debris but they remain blocked and water is flowing down the road towards the village centre.

Thanks for letting us know about your issue with a blocked drain.
We have experienced a large amount of rainfall in a short period of time. We are prioritising reports where the flooding poses a risk to life or a significant risk of internal flooding.
In times of extremely heavy rain drains can become overwhelmed and at the moment roadside drains may not be able to drain away due to watercourses being full and backing up.
If the problem becomes significantly worse during this incident please contact us again. You can find out more about drains on our website

Great news, we’ve had a look at the issue and we have now passed to our Highways Officers for the team to assess what can be done to resolve the matter. We’ll let you know when the assessment has taken place.

The County has received a large amount of rainfall in a short space of time and as such we are having to prioritise flooding sites which pose a risk to life or significant risk of internal flooding. It’s worth noting that at times of extreme weather even well-maintained drains can become overwhelmed and at the moment road gullies may not be able to drain away into watercourses which are full or backing up, including sewers. If the problem happens again but in less extreme conditions then please report this to us and we will investigate the issue again. Rest assured that we will be inspecting all drains and gullies in the coming weeks once the emergency response is over. Thank you for reporting this matter.
