Flooding cellar

Please help if you can!!
We live on a slope and the cellar is filling with water.
We have highlighted a contributor which is a down pipe at the front of the property because we die tested it and it made its way in.
The downpipe is adjacent to the footpath which just beyond that on the road there is public road drains. The council have admitted there is a blockage further down from the downpipe at one of the road drains. The task is to find out if this down pipe connectors to the public sewer (that is blocked) or if it's a soak away.? The next and intimate task is to unblocked it so it stops as a water source back filling our cellar? Any advice please. Please note water comes from further up the road where it flows over fields picking up debris and silt and the council will not put a kerb in the whole 100 yard length to stop water missing the drains and flowing on farm land.

Any chance of a drawing, showing where the blocked drain is, in relation to the grates/road drains?

If that fall pipe, is the one, and so close to the drain in the road as it appears, then there wouldn't be a soakaway or need for one.
