Soakaway servicing drain location
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8019855.
The drain on the road drains away through our property and land to a soakaway. Cadent this year recently replaced gas main. Mud and debris has been pushed down the drainage pipe ending in the soakaway that is not blocked and floods during heavy rain. We reported this to Cadent to repair, who refused, stating that it's council property to deal with. Soakaway needs dug out and renovated to resolve the flooding issues. kind regards, Scott connolly Estate Manager Hertfordshire House

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.
