The drain outside number 16 Hylton Road on lower side of road

The drain is blocked with sand and rubble. When there were flash floods last week all the rain came down the road into our drive, number 15. If the drain worked there would be less chance of our basement flooding which happened a few years ago and caused extensive damage. This has been a problem for several years.

This has been passed to the Local Area Technician to investigate.
We know that an important part of any road network is the drainage system which is designed to carry water away from the road surface. Even when a gully is clean and well maintained it will only cope with a certain volume of water at one time, a sudden and heavy downpour can still cause flooding especially if the road is in a low lying area.
