Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8119886.
Yet again this road has flooded in exactly the same place as it has for the past few years. I received a notification in April 2025 to say the issue had been resolved - clearly it hasn't. As we have had so little rain since April the road wouldn't have flooded! As the children go back to school, and more rain is forecast, this needs urgent attention. Somebody needs to go and see this issue NOW before it drains away!! As a thought, the road only seems to have flooded since the sink hole appeared on the junction of Penn Road and Curson Avenue. Maybe something is going on underground?

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.
