Travelling north upper Icknield way just before the turn for the RAF graduate visitor entrance where the road reaches an upwards climb the rad is prone to extreme flooding.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8421104.
Road covered in immense amount of water, covering extreme potholes. Water accumulates frequently due to lack of drainage. Damage to vehicles is present. Lack of lighting on the road means people not used to the road are then likely to hit this water at 40mph as it’s flooding in even moderate rain. I suggest a culvert if the drainage system does not allow for a physical drain put in. Extreme delays are present in the area any time it rains. Is a w3w needed I can provide.

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.
