Outside 81 Bishopstone
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7441147.
After several weeks with no rain, we recieved just 6 mm of rain on Tuesday 15th April. The drains outside 81 Bishopstone are so blocked up the water has flooded across the road yet again. These drains urgently need to be thoroughly cleaned out to enable the surface water to drain from the road.

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.
