Frith Hill HP16 9QF
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5973180.
Frith Hill is finally being resurfaced. Attached photos show the main drain, filled with stones and asphalt from the resurfacing. As Frith Hill regularly floods when it rains due poor drainage, this drain needs to be unblocked. Thank you.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.

This has been passed to the Highway Officer 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.
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.
