ALL drains southside of Castle Hill Road between 173 and the Cross Keys pub

Reported via desktop in the Drains/Ditches Blocked category anonymously at 14:24, Wednesday 24 September 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 428033.

Most recently reported in August (Council ref: 426580) This report now shows 'closed' although no action has been taken other than to refer me to the gulley clearing schedule which does not include this area. On this site it states that all drains and gulleys are cleared every three years, I can assure you this has not been the case in this area.
