Reported via desktop in the Drains/Ditches Blocked category anonymously at 10:23, Mon 24 June 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 408411.

The drain at the bottom of the drainpipe overflows into my property making the wall wet. This is seeping up the wall turning it black . This is because the pipe under the pavement is blocked with debris so rainfall from the gutter is building up instead of draining away. Private contractors that I've asked to help repeatedly tell me it's the councils responsibility to clear it. They do not want to incur expenses if damage to the public drain is the cause or is incurred. Please help.

  • Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
    We already have maintenance work planned in for this area and the issue will be resolved as part of this work. We are, unfortunately, unable to provide you with a timescale for this to be completed, however, all repairs are prioritised using an assessment matrix in line with our Network Maintenance Management Plan (NMMP).

    We will continue to monitor all defects to ensure the safety of our residents as part of the NMMP which can be found online - http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspx

    Many thanks,
    Central Bedfordshire Council Highways
