Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 425483.
Today it rained so today the road flooded outside my house so today every-time a car went by it caused a tidal wave into my house. I’ve been reporting this problem every-time it rains. I’m currently asking for compensation for my rotten floorboards and ruined hallway carpet. Today I videoed the flood water pouring into the footings of my 18th century Georgian house so I foresee composition claims for structural damage to my house due to negligence. You say there’s more important things to do. I pay my council tax and you are responsible for cleaning storm drains it’s quite obvious mine is blocked. You must know this because you claim to have been out to have a look I don’t believe you. Because when you said that you came out it hadn’t rained for weeks. The water level in the drain outside my house is much higher than all the others. Trust me I will not go away I’ve already made my claim for compensation and today I’ve raised another complaint to CBC. Tomorrow time permitting I will be writing to my MP complaining about the negligence of CBC and the costs they will be creating all because they refuse to send out a lorry to clean out the drain in front of my house which I am paying them to do.
