Road Henley Road opposite the Dog & Badger car Park

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5585076.
We recently informed you of a blocked drain. Since then you have resurfaced the road. Adjacent to the road are Medmenham Church Cottages. Since the road surfacing was carried the water pressure to cottages 3, 4, & 5 dropped considerably until Monday of this week when it ceased all together. It should be noted that the water main to these properties runs up the road in question. We had to call out emergency plumbers to investigate and they found a broken joint in the water main and the pipe in question filled with debree from the road. We have reason to believe that this damage was caused by the stripping and re-surfacing of the road and would therefore like to make a claim for compensation for the costs involved.
