Outside no 4 Church Street
Reported via desktop in the Footpath / pavement problem category anonymously at 16:25, Sat 6 February 2021
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2529873.
Since the road had new tarmac laid down we have had problems with water and damp and damage to our home. The photo shows the damp now inside and the huge pool of water that collects outside the front door as the road slopes down to the door. We have put extended drainpipes on the drains but due to the slope of the road, when it rains the water still pours down towards the house. It needs some type of rain drain/storm drain in the road to keep the water away. we never had this problem before as the old road cambered towards the centre of the road so there wasn't any water ingress. please can this be sorted as it is damaging our house.

As we haven't received a reply I wanted to reiterate that this is affecting our house, a listed building which needs taking care of. We have done all we can do. We cannot alter the slope of the street to our front door where the rainwater collects and results in severe damp inside our home.
