Constant full and leaking drain
Reported via mobile in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 20:59, Sun 14 May 2023
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4553687.
A drain directly outside the John Kennedy Public House, opposite the One-Stop on Meadowcroft. Drain has been full of water and leaking for at least 2 years, despite several attempts and road closures to find and fix the problem. Even in the height of summer, drain is always full and overflowing, causing a slow build up of damage to adjacent roads. I have contacted Thames Water, who attended on 10th May 2023, but have stated that it is outside their remit. It is my strong belief that there is some kind of leak within the drain itself, or coming up from below it.

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.
