Drains overflowed but last night clean up job hopeless

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1287681-D6Y9P2.
Last week drains overflowed and residue all over smells of sewage. Last night path cleaned but it sprayed the shit all over the cars, hardly a sensible thing to do healthwise . Also, road not cleaned so same problem with bad smells and drains still blocked. Much better job needed, best done in daylight too when contractors can see what they are doing. You should get a refund too from company you contracted job to for such bad job and should really pay for my car cleaning bill.

Thank you for reporting a blocked drain or gully.
If we can clear the blockage using a tanker with a suction hose, we will do this within 5 working days of your report.
If more complex work is needed such as digging out compacted silt or repairing collapsed drains, it may take longer.
If we cannot get access because of parked cars, we will return within 10 working days.Did you know…?
We manage and maintain 17,900 road gullies across the borough. All high-risk gullies in areas known to have flooding issues are cleaned at least once a year and all other gullies are cleaned bi-annually.
