Overflowing storm drain
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6529601.
9 Burts Lane
The recent heavy rain is similar to recent problems of Burts Lane becoming a fast moving stream in the road with surface water run off going down hill from the Chearsley Road junction. Our property was partially flooded. Either by rising ground water levels or the storm drain having a leak next to no 9 Burts Lane . Can this be investigated please.

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.
