Drain blocked
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9612908.
I have reported this previously where the contractor who carried out work on the water main (Affinity) water covered the entry kerb weir to the culvert that sits outside Sun Cottage. The issue that has been consistent for a number of years is that the water flow in periods of heaviy rain means that the the water builds further down . It would seem simple to clear the access point to the kerb weir and improve the water flow off the road

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.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
