Drains at the top of our drive on either side.

Reported via desktop in the Drains/Ditches Blocked category anonymously at 14:35, Mon 8 December 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 431567.

The drains are sufficiently blocked that the whole area floods when there is a heavy downpour. This has happened twice so far this winter and both times this causes water to run down our drive and go into our garage. It would be great if you could come out and take a look at trying to get the drains cleared so that the water can flow away in a timely manner. They do drain eventually but there is always a flood beforehand in heavy downpours. Thank you.
