Gully blocked, causing damage to road in pothole and flooding of road and footpath
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7545782.
Councillor Jaspal Chokkarr has also raised this here, https://fixmystreet.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/ report/ 7545156
But he has failed to add more colour to this, which is that this drain is blocked, and has been blocked for years. Your own council site confirms this drain was last cleared in 2022...which is 2-3 years ago. The drain is always leaking, causing potholes and dirty pavements.

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.
