Blocked drain/grill
Reported in the Blocked drain category by Jean Richardson at 16:21, Mon 11 November 2019
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 5 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1841638.
I first reported this blocked drain/grill between 11a and 13 The Paddocks on 17th June 2019. The only attempt I am aware of to try to clear this was by a road sweeper and it did not work. Despite repeatedly asking for an update on when it would be cleared and sending numerous photos - it is still blocked and has got much worse. When will this be cleared please?

A road sweeper van has been down the road today. It has cleared the debris from the top of the grill. HOWEVER IT HAS NOT CLEARED THE DEBRIS WITHIN THE DRAIN. It is now over FIVE MONTHS. Please arrange for this drain to be cleared properly.

I first reported this on 17th June 2019. I add the year because it looks like it could be June 2020 at least before it gets cleared!
