Cut de sac end of road & both drains are blocked either side of road

Reported via mobile in the Flooding on a road/footpath category anonymously at 15:29, Thursday 23 January 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7022646.

Cul de sac water runs down & both drains are blocked either side of road has no where to go so is flooding the pathway only a matter of time before it floods our drive & possibly the house as we are sat lower then the road, we only had a short amount of rain & it flooded so if we get the rain that’s expected over the next few hours days then it we become an issue with my home flooding.

Updates

  • 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.
