Plastic sheeting has been put into the drain

Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category by John Field at 16:04, Mon 8 May 2023

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4528701.

This is a weird one, I suspect the contractors working on a fabricated construction in the field above this drain, have plugged up the drain by lifting the grating inserting a plastic sheet and replaced the grating, perhaps to prevent the spoil running into the drain !!!

  • 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.
