The drain is blocked

The water after a heavy rain fall doesn’t drain properly and then forms a lake in our close, which then gets trapped and isolated from the drain.

Update
The Highway Officer has carried out an inspection and has identified that there is no immediate safety issue, 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, this generally clears away over a matter of hours.
It is not financially viable for us to action all non-safety issues in isolation, these non-safety issues are added to a package of works for the area. In addition, all our roads are subject to Safety Inspections, and this includes identifying drainage issues, we also have a gully clearance programme where we inspect and clear all 85,000 Buckinghamshire owned gully’s annually.
If your property is in danger of flooding please refer to the flooding information and guidance on the Buckinghamshire website
