Drain outside Grantchester

Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 14:51, Fri 31 March 2023

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4382105.

The drain is blocked, causing water to flood the entire road and into driveways as traffic passes. I am at The Glens and water has flooded right into my entire front driveway to a depth of around 2 - 3 cm. I reported a similar issue last winter but don't know if it was attended to or not.

12/06 - Called to get an update or an eta of the works as this needs to get done sooner rather than later.

  • This has been passed to the Local Area Technician to investigate.

    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. Even when a gully is clean and well maintained it will only cope with a certain volume of water at one time, a sudden and heavy downpour can still cause flooding especially if the road is in a low lying area.
