River Chess has been overflowing for weeks
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6109348.
From just past the open air swimming pool to the Chess Business Park the entire road is flooded. I think water is coming from the River Chess. It has been getting progressively worse over the past few weeks.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.

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.

We have fully investigated your issue and found that the area/issue is not the responsibility of Buckinghamshire Council.
Unfortunately, we do not hold landownership details, an option for you would be to contact Land Registry, who will be able to provide you with the ownership/responsibility details so that you can progress you enquiry/issue further.
Apologies that we could not be more helpful, I am sure you can understand that we must only use public money to repair/resolve issues we are responsible for.
