Strong drainage smell

Reported via mobile in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 21:39, Sun 6 October 2024

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6558886.

Hi, I have just moved into 11 Poundon, Bicester, OX27 9AY. I have noticed the last couple of evenings that the main bathroom there is a strong smell/odour of the drainage. Can the drainage be checked? My understanding is that the drainage set up goes from 11 to 13 Poundon. Appreciate any help here.

Kind regards Elizabeth Bourke

  • 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.
