Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7561235.
We have had one day of rain and road is flooded again this has been going on for years when will it be sorted. As Botley road is on to of the hill I can not understand why it the drainage can not be sorted.

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.
