Blocked Drains on Road Both Sides
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6505616.
On both sides of road water is unable to drain into the system. Some drains are blocked, some have been minimised by some resurfacing work. There is stagnant pooled water all around this bend. Drivers do not see it and soak pedestrians. We have asked many times for the drainage channels to be cleaned out over the last ten years but nobody has helped us. Because of the water building up and coming over the curb several residents are flooded regularly. Please at least help them.

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.
