Opposite Spring Cottahe Orchard Way

Reported via desktop in the Ditch issue category by Gary Baldwin at 11:18, Thu 5 December 2024

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6822463.

Drainage grid in ditch is blocked so all the water from field drains flows out onto the road everytime it rains. Causes massive long stream along the road which is dangerous when the road freezes. Almost bored of reporting as you never do anything about it.

Updates

  • 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. As a general rule ditches along the side of the road are the responsibility of whoever owns the land on which they are situated, they should maintain and keep the ditch capable of carrying water away from the road.

    The Highway Officer will carry out an inspection within 10 days and if it is the responsibility of Buckinghamshire Council and work is required, we will raise and order and have the work done.

    If the responsibility is with the landowner, we will not use taxpayers money to carry out the work, we will write to the land owner and request they carry out the necessary work on their land.
