Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8115034.
There is a blocked calvert which is flooding very elderly residents driveway. Also causing electrical issues for them so having to open their electric gate manually. They have mobility issues and would like urgent attention please. Apparently this has been happening regularly over the last few years and they have tried logging with highways.

If the flooding is caused by a water leak we will report it to the relevant water company, who are responsible for water leaks.
There are occasions when flash flooding overloads the drain/gully, even when a drain/gully is clean and well maintained it can 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, this generally clears away over a matter of hours.
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.
