Leaking for months
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9704414.
I passed this leak about a month ago and noticed again today that it is still leaking. It appears to be coming from a drain. The location is a house called Acres View and it’s at the very top of Springfield Lane, Marlow, very near Bovingdin Green.

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.
