Road gulley blocked to the brim.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9412040.
Fix my street says this gulley was cleaned on 14.4.26. If so why is it still filled to the top with soil and gravel. There are at least two gullies in this state along a road which is subject to frequent flooding.

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.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
