Drain not sufficient to take away water in rain.

Reported via desktop in the Blocked/Damaged category anonymously at 10:47, Monday 16 February 2026

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council 2 minutes later. ref: 8929169.

The drain is insufficient to handle water during medium rain showers, leading to water accumulation in the dip over half of the single carriageway. Due to the high volume of traffic on the road, it is impossible to avoid, causing pedestrians on the footpath to get soaked. It is difficult to stop and take a picture due to the location. This issue has been reported numerous times; however, it is not a blocked drain problem but rather an issue with the volume of water.
