Action scheduled
The end of Fairview Road, SL6 0NQ
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7044993.
For many many years (26 years), there has been a flooding at the end of our road whenever it rains, or the snow melts. It is horrendous. We literally walk outside our front door and have to leap over an enormous puddle of water just sitting there for days. Because of the sloping driveways of 104 and 106 Fairview road, all the sludge, dirt and dust gathers at the edge outside my door and mud forms. Its awful having to leave my home with nice shoes on and try to leap over the flood. Everytime a car reverses at the end or turns around they make the pool of dirty waterworse. There is no drains at all at the end of the road. I would really like some drainage system put in if possible.
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.
