Dear members, there are 2 small issues I'm looking your help for.
1. On some parts, specially on right hand side of 2 steps you can see in the picture of stone path, water gets logged because the slope is towards that side. as you can see there is a public footpath behind the fenced area, this being last house on the row. Can I simply drill a hole through to let water drain out ? Its not particularly lot of water but is bit of a problem right after rain. What would be the best way around this please?

Public Footpath
2. I don't know what is this small square area called where you can see downpipe from small entrance porch and part of main roof (via a junction box) going into a ground pipe. During reasonably heavy rain I see that surrounding void around pipe gets filled up with water and drains slowly after rain stops. I noticed a lot of muck in there. Is there something like a mesh around ground pipe which over the years have hidden under built of debris etc.? Should I expect to see sort of mesh around pipe (potentially for water from patio to drain into underwater pipes) there when I clean it?
