Drain in Rushy Lane at entrance to Town House Barns
Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 3240484.
I reported this drain before Christmas as it was overflowing and it was attended to but when it rained during New Year the drain again overflowed and left a puddle in the road. I inspected it yesterday and whilst the puddle has now drained the level of water in the actual drain has only seeped away slowly and is now about 4 inches from the top so will ultimately flood the road again when we have further rain. It would appear that the drain is again blocked between it and the main drainage sewer in the road due to the amount of mud being carried into it by farm and other vehicles.
