Water leaking in corner of pathway
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6789032.
Right in the corner of the footpath, where the grass verge meets the drop kerb outside number 65 Western avenue, it appears that water is flowing out of the round and causing a small stream along the curb all the way up the road. This has possibly arisen following the heavy rain this week. There appears to be what looks like a white pipe, with water flowing from near there.

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.
