Drains almost full to overflowing
Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6519026.
Hello team, I attach pics of two drains in our street that are so full (hard to show exactly) that will overflow if we have another half inch of rain. One is between Numbers 5 and Numbers 6 Paynes Field, and One is at the front of Number 5. I have checked others locally and one is more full than normal in the car park area behind numbers 10 and 11. Once you get to the drains that are 'down the hill' they are all fine so there would appear to be an isolated issue from my amateur assessment (an expert would assess better I am sure). There are further heavy rain warnings for today and tomorrow and I am very worried they will overflow causing damage to the houses particularly numbers 5 and those that front on to Uffington Road numbers 35 and 36 so your urgent attention is appreciated albeit having driven in the rain last night I assume you have a number of areas to focus on. Thanks so much. Julia 07768 302563

Unfortunately, all areas mentioned are private and do not form part of the Public Adopted Highway, our highway boundary stops outside number 6 with the last adopted gully being in the corner of the carriageway adjacent to the green street light. Additionally with regards to number 10 the highway boundary stops at the wider kerb that forms the road edge. Usually private access roads and car park this these are either maintained by a management company to which each households pays an annual fee, or its a shared responsibility between the houses that utilise the access road and or car parking areas.
