We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to properly maintain the drains and gullies on his road. This is because Mr X has made a claim against the Council at court and if there are any drains which still remain blocked it would be reasonable for him to apply to the court for an Order requiring it to carry out repairs.
