This drain is not coping with heavy rainfall and is regularly flooding into my garden causeing soil erosion. This problem has been persistently occurring during the last three years and despite complaints about the issue it has not been resolved.The drain system here is not blocked by the usual debris…it is just not working properly.The rainwater enters the drain passes through a crossover section into a second drain and should run through a pipe and into the main system…this is not happening and the water quickly backs up and floods into my garden( see photos) If This situation is not resolved soon then I will have to take the matter to my MP.
