In progress
Footpath behind Tesco.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 day, 18 hours, 32 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 8464087.
Every year the footpath gets flooded. People the walk on the grass around it, which over time becomes very muddy. This is a frequently used footpath, especially by children walking to school. The alternative is to walk through Tesco carpark, which is not safe for children.
Updates
-
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.
