Investigating
Nags Head lane - between the laurels and Radfird
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 week, 6 days, 23 hours, 25 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 8092809.
When the rain pours the area outside the laurels floods due to faulty road conditions and passing cars send large volumes of spray containing a stones that accumulate on the road in the depressions. These stones are hitting our parked on our drive way and damaging it - a good 5 metres from the road. the latest incident of car damage was 28th August at 5.30 pm during heavy rain. I have photos of over 19 small stone chips on my car . The temporary flooding in this area occurs in every heavy period of rain

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.
