Action scheduled
35 High Street, Ropsley
Reported via mobile in the Standing water covering less than half the road category anonymously at 21:46, Tuesday 27 January 2026
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2872908.
The drain outside my property is blocked again. Meaning there is standing water on the road. All of the traffic passes through the village quickly and all the traffic is causing the water to hit my house. The windows, stonework and mortar are being damaged by this. Although I am repeatedly reporting the blocked drain it doesn’t appear to have been unblocked. My property is being damaged. I paid to have the motor replaced last year and I am hoping that you can cover the cost of this and other issues caused by this blocked drain. There are lots of tractors and heavy vehicles passing through which exacerbates the situation further.
