This small section of Public Highway just doesn't get attention. It floods all the time, the drainage ditches are full up and the road is full of pot holes. The drainage ditches have been cleared three times in the last 24 years, the road flooding has never been addressed, with constantly blocked drains and the road surface has never had any attention. Can a highways engineer meet with us residents to find a solution to this problem

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.
