Action scheduled
The river next to 166 Broughton Avenue, Aylesbury has flooded.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 2 days, 1 hour, 36 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 8130214.
Residents of Broughton Avenue have had to remove vegetation from the stream next to 166 Broughton Avenue due to trees not being properly trimmed by the council which results in branches clogging up the river so water has nowhere to flow. Please can you remove the branches/vegetation that has been removed from the stream
Updates
-
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.
