Fixed
In the highway directly outside Lindene
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5594460.
During and after the heavy rain last night and this morning this manhole cover was lifting due to the water pressure from beneath and appeared to be spillage from the sewer into the road. The pictures were taken at 2pm by which time the outflow was much reduced. There is however a stench of sewerage at the moment.

If the flooding is caused by a water leak we will report it to the relevant water company, who are responsible for water leaks.
There are occasions when flash flooding overloads the drain/gully, even when a drain/gully is clean and well maintained it can 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, this generally clears away over a matter of hours.
The Highway Officer is only able to inspect the drain when the water has cleared away, this will be done within 10 days and if required, an order will be raised to clear the drain.
