Chiltern Road, West St roundabout near dlats
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 437650.
The drain is blocked and remains full of water and when it rains creates a large puddle. Was not cleaned out following a recent visit by the Blocked Drains Team. Can not wait for another 3 years for routine maintenance.

Update on your report:
We plan to inspect the site during the next instance of significant rainfall, to allow a full assessment of the issue before any decision is made.
Even when a gully is clean and well maintained it will only cope with a certain volume of water at one time, a sudden and heavy downpour can still cause flooding especially if the road is in a low-lying area, this generally clears away over a matter of hours.
Many thanks,
