Our team have established a plan of action for your problem and we would like to tell you about it.
We can confirm that our team have attended the location reported on Helm Lane, Natland.
The team have advised that works to empty and cleanse the soakaway have been added to our programme, although we are unable to provide a definitive timescale as to when these works will be undertaken at this time. Track Progress
