Action scheduled
Drains not taking surface water
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8977332.
London Road around two drain covers which are so badly engineered by resurfacing the water is actually diverted away from them into the road. Water emanates from a gully in the pavement outside the Swan Leisure Centre car park. This water from almost thé top of the hill pours down the road towards Tescos, bypassing the two drain covers as described above

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.
