Rainwater or drain right in the middle of Martinsend lane - been lifted and danger to traffic
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 10013191.
The drain has lifted / water coming out but as it is in the middle of the road it is dangerous - I have heard a number of low vehicles crunch bottom of car over it. This is seperated to the previously reported one on the doctors house pathway - this is in the middle of the road and a hazard. This is not about being away of storm water taking time to clear - this is a danger. Thank you

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