Blocked drain causing surface water across road when raining

As mentioned in earlier report, there appears to be a blockage between these 2 drains. As a result the continuous flow of spring water coming through the system keeps the blocked drain full, and causes a stream of water across the road in wet weather. With current freezing temperatures, this will just cause damage to the new road surface, (which took years to be surfaced), and potential dangerous ice.
