Flooding on highway/pavement caused by blocked drains

Reported via desktop in the Standing water on the highway category anonymously at 13:34, Wed 9 October 2024

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14157075.

Drain severely blocked with leaves and debris on corner of junction of 3 roads outside Abbey House. Causes water backup all along gulleys/drains from Abbey House, infront of 41 Abbey Foregate and a long the road to the corner junction with the main Abbey Foregate road.

Flooding occurs even during mild rainstorms and has bee on going for several months. This area around the Abbey, especially along the double yellow lines was historically regularly swept (often daily) by road sweepers which have not been seen for many months and has undoubtedly exacerbated the blocked drains and flooding issues.

Please can the council send the drain clearer vehicle urgently and clean out the drains along this road. Thank you.
