Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6136244.
Despite your many many attempts to clear this drain its associated pipe works remains blocked. The previous pictures you sent show the culverted watercourse manhole and pipes. This gullies pipes discharge into the ditch adjacent to the property known as Lyndongrove. As my photo shows even with a small amount of rain the gully is not discharging.

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.
