23 brookmead meppershall

Reported via mobile in the Drains/Ditches Blocked category anonymously at 09:40, Mon 23 September 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 411854.

Hello all

We live at 23 Brookmead Meppershall Bedfordshire.

Yesterday 23Sept24 our rear garden was flooded due the heavy rainwater.

This was caused by the blocked/filled in ditch which runs alongside the rear gardens of Hoo Road Meppershall. The ditch was filled in by the Local Authority Central Bedfordshire Council.

Please can you come out to unblock this ditch to avoid our rear garden/house from being flooded again.

This happened in 2007 due to heavy rain. Then Central Bedfordshire Council came out and arranged for the filled in ditch to be cleared.

I have attached a picture of the road layout. The ditch runs along side the rear of Hoo Road Meppershall gardens
