Hi All, I recently moved home (4 days before christmas) on the weekend i was talking to my new neighbour and he was asking if i had been informed about the issue with the drain in the rear garden.
From what i understand there is a storm drain at the bottom of the rear garden, a while back the previos owner built a summer house over it and managed to totaly block the drain!! Now when it rains all the water builds up in the garden, i have since noticed a very large pond like puddle forming down there.
Unfortunalty i have been unable to investigate the problem as the drain is located under a large overgrowth of brambles etc...
On the plus side the build up of water can not get near the house or the neighbouring homes as the garden is 10foot lower than the houses.
My question is this: Whos responsible for the drain, would i have to pay to rectify this or would the local council do this at no cost to me?
Thanks All,
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
