Action scheduled
Two drain covers just opposite 9, The Croft, on the other side of the road.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7822284.
There are two drains which appear to be blocked and need clearing because of risk of flooding on the road. They are not marked with a yellow circle on your map, but they are there and need some attention. When we last had a huge downpour the water then came down past out house as it pooled and became too much. I have tried to clear what I can, but it is difficult.

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.
