Action scheduled
Kerb below road level adding to flooding issues
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7587436.
As seen in the photos when the road was re-laid last year the road surface was left higher or level with road surface. Since then we have had 2x major flood issues on this road, as there is no real gulley along to the drains the flood water has come into the drives and then into the houses. Raising wouldn’t of prevented as the shear volume of water that fell was bad, but it would of helped initially for the water to be diverted into the drains not our properties!
