Action scheduled
Continuous flooding damaging the road and preventing people passing
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6844295.
This part of stocking lane is continuously flooded, preventing people from walking the route due to a lack of proper foot pathing or drainage to handle the amount of water that goes down the hill. The location is on the first bend on stocking lane as you enter through Naphill. Near the farm gates, it floods to around 8 to 10 inches with moderate rainfall.

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.
