Outside Old Seven Stars, opposite the post box next to The Old Station

Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category by Gregory Moore at 09:55, Monday 18 August 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8038918.

Looks like mud and muck have blocked it. I have tried to loosen with a screwdriver and water is slowly getting through. We have not had much rain but when we do it will be a problem, a bit like in 2019. Thank you

  • 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.
