Action scheduled
Length of parking bays facing Bicester Road in The Square, Long Crendon
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7411310.
The channel drain with metal grating running the full length of the car parking bays facing the Bicester Road in The Square, Long Crendon is blocked. The metal grating in some areas is covered with tarmac left by contractors, in others it is blocked with mud, is broken or loose which is a trip hazard as well. When it rains the water runs from the top bays down into this area and causes flooding. The drain needs uncovering and cleaning and the grating replaced.

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.
