Significant amount of surface water running down road and also blocked drain
Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 952328.
Significant amount of surface water running down road towards the road under the railway line. The drain further up is also blocked which is putting all the water to the drain under the bridge. This drain has been blocked for over a year and previously reported. This are is known for flooding and putting all the pressure on one drain is not a good idea considering how wet the winter has been so far and could continue to be.

Thank you for your report. We’ve arranged for an inspection to take place so we can confirm who is responsible for the issue you’ve raised.
This may involve checking whether the defect relates to the public road network or to infrastructure maintained by another council service, a utility company or other private party.
We’ll update you once the inspection is complete and we know how the matter will be progressed.

We’ve completed our inspection and were unable to log a defect requiring action by the Roads Service.
In many cases, this means the issue may relate to land or infrastructure that is not maintained by our service. This could include areas looked after by another part of the Council — such as housing, landscape, or waste services — or by a third party, such as a utility provider, housing association, developer, or private landowner.
If the situation changes, or if you’re able to provide additional information, you’re welcome to get back in touch. However, if the issue continues to fall outside the Roads Service’s responsibility, it will remain with the appropriate service or owner to address.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention

We’ve completed our inspection and can confirm that the issue you reported relates to infrastructure owned or maintained by a utility company or other statutory undertaker.
Where possible, we will notify the responsible organisation of the defect. However, responsibility for inspecting, maintaining and repairing utility apparatus rests with the asset owner. If you require further information or updates, please contact the relevant utility provider directly.
Please note that utility covers, access points, cabinets, poles and associated equipment remain the responsibility of the utility provider, and the Roads Authority does not carry out repairs to these assets. We do, however, maintain the surrounding road and footway surfaces.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
