FIXMYSTREET IN PE36 6NE
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of PE36 6NE:
Broken Drainage, 7th July
I reported a problem with this ditch being blocked back in March, & at this time I believe it was cleared & re-bunded at the edge. However, I think the drainage pipes may be broken because it is still causing a water pooling problem to our properties when it rains.

Blocked Drainage Ditch, 25th March
The ditch is blocked (circled red in the photo) which results in it overflowing across the adjacent driveway following heavy/sustained rainfall. The water that is overflowing is then causing water damage to the adjoining cottages. While we are not sure how long this has been an issue, the very wet winter has highlighted this as being a real problem. Someone did turn up to rod the drain a while back, but either this wasn't done sufficiently or there is an issue with the drain blocking too quickly. We would appreciate someone taking a look at the issue.

Flooding, 30th November
I live in Malthouse Court, Thornham, in a property backing on to the A149. On the increasingly frequent occasions that we have heavy rainfall, a stream of muddy water pours down the Choseley Road across a slight bend, which obstructs visibility from both directions, and along the main road. Unfortunately, any leaves carried in the torrent quickly block up the drains and large puddles of liquid mud form (see attached photographs).
This mud seems to be particularly slippery ; two pedestrians have previously fallen over on a nearby pathway and, today, two vehicles approaching from opposite directions slewed dangerously across the A149 as they braked, having seen the large expanse of flooding late.
The stream causes access problems ,with residents at the bottom of the Choseley Road unable to enter their properties on foot, and a large pool forming in Green Lane which similarly obstructs pedestrians.
In addition, with vehicles frequently leave the village heading east at a speed which probably exceeds the 30 mph speed limit, they hit the pool stretching from the gutter half-way across the main road and send a wave of filthy water as much as 6 foot up the properties backing on to the road. Apart from the inconvenience of ending up with windows which cannot be seen through, all the buildings concerned are clad in chalk so some structural damage seems likely.
On a particularly wet and cold day, I have spent a large amount of time raking leaves off the drains to try to reduce the overall depth of the flooding. This is not pleasant, particularly when you are splashed by passing vehicles, and I would be interested to hear your suggestions for a long-term solution to this problem.
