The grate you fitted is causing blockage

The grate you fitted to the drain entrance is causing the drain to block due to the debris being held against it. I have had to dig a relief channel into the road to allow some water out of the ditch before it floods my garden and possibly house. I do not believe the drainage issue was properly fixed in the first place and this is just a quick bodge. If it appears like this again I will remove the grate myself to prevent damage to my house and property. The main issue is the water run off from the fields further up cold Overton road overflowing across the highway, down hill towards Oakham itself then eventually runing into the ditch just above my house. None of this water runs off the highway into the verge scrapes and is unable to get away into the fields on the other side of the road. Unless someone actually comes out when it’s actually raining you cannot comprehend how much water is running down the highway into the ditch and then 8 inch drainpipe which is nowhere near big enough to cope with the volume of water generated Furthermore. The tarmac that was lifted earlier in the year on the footpath at the junction of Cood Overton Road and Mendip Road still has not been fixed and is causing a trip hazard
