Closed
Outside 11A & 13 Church Street Gainsborough
Reported via mobile in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 15:53, Thursday 22 January 2026
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2871598.
Drain was replaced a couple of years ago, but is innefective. Drain is higher than the paving & as a result there is a large puddle (approx 3m x 1m) that forms outside the 2 shops alongside every time it rains, and has been like this for over 10 years. Paving is sunken in places along the entire stretch as well which does not drain away anywhere.
