• Even more water is coming out of this drain. If this freezes it is going to be a considerable road hazard.

• We’re sending you this message to let you know that we've inspected and acknowledge that this gully 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. Looking at our drainage layer map, we can see the surrounding drainage assets were inspected in September and they were operational upon leaving.. Thank you for reporting this matter.

• Unacceptable response. If this is blocked it needs rectifying. This would only take a short while. Water is coming out of this drain and not running over it. I expect it's more serious than you expect.

• 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.

  Water is now coming out of the drains on both sides of the road and the road surface around the original reported drain is starting to break up and collapse. The water is now traveling almost half a mile down the road.

  Come on highways get these drains sorted out. They are getting worse and are now drenching pedestrians and there dogs when walking on the pavements and vehicles are forced to drive through the lakes of water stretching over one third of the road.

• It is now 7 weeks since this job was issued and still no progress. What is going on? No communication from anyone. This is really getting ridiculous!
