The drains along Abbey Foregate from Shirehall to the English Bridge in Shrewsbury SY2 6ND are full of silt with weeds growing out of them

Reported via desktop in the Drain blocked category anonymously at 15:05, Tue 15 July 2025

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14180787.

The drains along Abbey Foregate from Shirehall to the English Bridge in Shrewsbury SY2 6ND are full of silt with weeds growing out of them. A request has been made to have these drains jettied so that when we get the Autumn and Winter rains that it won't flood as well they believe that this is making the approach to Shrewsbury Town look uncared for. Can you please look into this further and arrange to have cleaned out?

Many thanks,
