Drains clearly partially blocked, as once again after heavy rain, they will not clear by over 24 hours. Previous report was dismissed after surface water was allowed to dry away before check. This drain is not working to its proper capacity, and the result pathways being blocked for children and prams, and silt and mud being left in this section of road, which is then unnecessarily driven on my drive way
