The ditch is flooded with water.

Reported via desktop in the Ditch issue category anonymously at 11:23, Tuesday 17 January 2023

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4139948.

Because it is flooded the cess pit which is located next to the ditch connects to our exercise Studio can not disperse the liquid in it. As a result we have blocked toilets. We have to keep having the cess pit emptied, a second time in a month.

Updates

  • We know that an important part of any road network is the drainage system which is designed to carry water away from the road surface. As a general rule ditches along the side of the road are the responsibility of whoever owns the land on which they are situated, they should maintain and keep the ditch capable of carrying water away from the road.

    The Local Area Technician will carry out an inspection within 10 days and if it is the responsibility of Buckinghamshire Council and a repair is required, we will carry out the work. If the responsibility is with the landowner, we will write to them and request they carry out the necessary work.
