Drains at the end of the road
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8420017.
Road is flooding and not taking the water away. Someone came out to clear the drains last month but the drains are still backing up and this is now flooding over the path and onto peoples driveways and stretching up the road. Please can these drains be reinspected as the clearance work that has taken place has not resolved the issue at all.

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.
