Action scheduled
Corner of Arnold Close and Wendover Road
Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category by Assistant Clerk Stoke Mandeville Parish Council at 10:10, Wednesday 17 July 2024
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6239940.
This drain was previously not mapped so has not been cleaned out when scheduled gully clearance in the rest of the road is done. In fact the rest of the drains in Arnold Close were cleaned out as part of regular maintenance last week and this was missed out. The LAT tells me it has now been mapped and I can see it on the FMS map so it now needs a one off visit to dig it out and return it to use.

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.
