Action scheduled
Repeated, and increasingly severe flooding on the corner of Western Dene
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7754346.
Increasingly severe flash flooding occurs at this location anytime there is heavy rain. The flooding completely blocks the road and footpath on both sides of the road. This has been an ongoing issue which has been getting worse for a number of years, but never seems to be rectified.

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.
