  Hole has deepened to 45cm and downspout from 136 and 134 is visibly disconnected from storm drain (photo attached). This needs fixing urgently before further erosion takes place.

  Endoscope shows pipe in green, ending at tarmac blockage from pavement repair. It's clear the pipe has not been reconnected as requested. Water from downspout continues to accumulate beneath 136 and 134. Holes in pavement will recur in future and homes are risk of subsidence and damp until pipe is reconnected.
