Blocked drain

We made a flurry of emails and phone calls this morning to the Council after discovering this blocked drain up the road.
It’s causing water to flood down the road into our drive making it a potential skating rink. With our combined total of four artificial limbs an ice rink is not something we want outside our front door.
 
The Council promise to do something about it but I doubt it will happen before Christmas because a large part of Stirling appears to be dug up these days up for road repairs.
