Drain is blocked and overflowing into the road.I think that this flooding is linked to the flooding outside 73 South Street. It's been happening for about 4 months. The road is a major pedestrian route for children and their carers going to 2 local schools
It's an old Drain and is probably blocked further along South Street. FYI We had problems with this Drain before. It took you 4 years to put a camera down the Drain to find that a tree root was in the Drain itself
