Action scheduled
Drain by pond in Slough Lane and one under bridge
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6529834.
The drain by the pond is blocked. I have dug out as much as I can but the rest needs clearing. There is a feed pipe from the drain under the railway bridge that goes into this drain. That pipe is also blocked. I have also cleared a lot of mud off the road but a road sweeper would be useful to clear the rest so it doesn't block up again so quickly.

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.
