Pooling Water Join Clifden Road and Waterperry Road
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6537769.
Since the resurfacing of the road, many of the drains are either blocked with debris or semi- obscured by the tarmac. As a result water does not drain from the road. In addition, many of the surfaces are below the drain level and the water pools a long way into the road. Pedestrians are often soaked when motorists see these only at the last moment. Please could these drains be cleaned out and/or the openings re-established?

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.
