1. What % of the time between cyclic maintenance does the council deem it acceptable for the drains in a road to be blocked and therefore not fit for purpose? Is it acceptable for rain water as Highways runoff to flood residents' properties?

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.
The routine cleansing of drainage assets is carried out on a risk-based approach. Therefore, some assets are programmed to be cleaned on an annual basis with others cleaned every 2 years.
On the routine cleanse it is possible that parked vehicles, or other issues, prevent the asset being cleansed. Another attempt will be made to cleanse the asset in these scenarios.
To report any issues please log them on Fix My Street
