Urgent!!! urgent!!!
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5996771.
Sorry - not sure how to report this but in Penn Rd this morning there have been emergency works checking out a series of sinkholes. Affinity Water are working in the same road and have knocked on a customer's door next to this drain, advising that all the drains in the road are full and are possibly the cause of the sinkholes. I have tried to call Elliot, Michael and then Rosie as this may be something that needs to be looked at today

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.
