Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4382855.
The blocked drains on the hill overflow & run downhill causing flooding by houses 78-84 there are also no footpaths so pedestrians have to wade through water (as road completely floods & get splashed by cars & cars have to break or skit if approaching round a bend & come suddenly upon flood lower down road. Happens even with moderate rain

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.
