Just reported my outside drain being blocked, at least a yearly thing at mine certainly due to leaves/grass etc & the poor quality of drain itself - something i have to get jetted out every year as part of repairs! Well this year its not been too bad as i havent bothered with back garden cutting grass but has happened now due to the high winds & heavy rain blowing right through it!!
Well now rules have changed i will be charged for it now £56.20 to have it jetted if it is no fault of my own err how do i prove that & what does that mean other than no i haven't let kids put tissue paper down or the like ??
MMm notice tho as soon as im now being charged they can send someone up this afternoon rather than in a few days time
So thought i'd let you know of a new charge so u dont end up as shocked as me - now im going to be scared of emptying my bath & sink just in case the outside drain goes again because thats all ive been doing.
Now to take £56.20 out of the xmas budget now
