Several Outside Drains - Sulphur smell

Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category anonymously at 16:25, Fri 3 October 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8249157.

There is a really bad smell coming from several outside drains outside no 38/36 Buckingham Road, the Conservative Club and the corner of Millhouse Way. It smells like rotten eggs. It's been there for a few weeks but getting much worse and travelling further along the road.

Updates

  • 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.
