Miniature roundabout at Market Square, Old Amersham
Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 18:52, Wed 13 August 2025
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8021599.
The water leak at the roundabout outside the Crown Hotel has now settled forming a large puddle close to my front door exacerbated by an apparent blocked drain. This has worsened over the past few weeks as the water leak has not been stemmed. The constant traffic flow is splashing quantities of dirty water on my door which over a short amount of time may well cause serious damage to the door.

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.
