Action scheduled
This gully is blocked - causing flooding on the brow of a hill
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8749542.
It was 2 years ago when this gully was last dug out by the previous LAT Pat.
In that time its been blocked with leaves, etc
As a result its caused flooding along a stretch of road where if you were driving at speed (and it is national speed) then you can hit it hard and loose traction / control of a motor vehicle. Please may I ask kindly if the LAT can come inspect and dig it out which is what was done previously.

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.
