Blocked drains opposite the Methodist church in Shepherds Lane.
Reported via desktop in the Blocked drain category by John Davis at 10:06, Thu 14 January 2021
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2477218.
Two drains are blocked opposite the Methodist Church. This was first reported back in October but still not remedied. Vehicles splash water against the side of my house (no 26j soaking the wall and even splashing as high as the window. This happens every time there is continuous rain. It is now getting on for three months since it was first reported. Next step will be to contact my local MP - which I had to do a few years ago before any action was take. PLEASE sort this problem out!

I first reported this problem on 30 October 2020 - reference no 40146392. I reported it again in January (as nothing had happened) and received an acknowledgment - ref no 40151922 on 14 Jan. 28th Jan received a confirmation that the work is “in progress.” Nothing has happened and it is getting on for five months since it was first reported. My understanding of “in progress” is that something is happening. This is clearly not the case. I am therefore reporting it for the third time. Unbelievable incompetence.
