Pavement outside 30 Rothschild Road

Reported via mobile in the Flooded Property category anonymously at 17:46, Saturday 21 September 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 411670.

Every time there is a heavy downpour of rain the water pours off the road onto the pavement and then down our path and laps on the front door. We have to put makeshift sandbags or blocks across our entrance when it’s particularly bad to prevent it entering the house. This wasn’t an issue until a year or two ago when council contractors laid slurry seal on top of the pavement in a bid to repair the damaged pavement. Unfortunately the pavement is now slightly higher than our entrance way resulting in rainwater spilling over and cascading down into our property.
