Action scheduled
Outside 14 Oxford Avenue
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6802013.
There is an issue with the water flow from one of the guttering down pipes at the front of the property. Drainage engineers tried to flush through the pipes but this flooded. When they lifted off the man hole cover outside on the pavement of the house there is clay which has built up and could be causing the blockage. Could you please arrange for this to be looked into as soon as possible as heavy rain is causing flooding on property.
Updates

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.
