FIXMYSTREET IN MK18 5NW
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of MK18 5NW:
Blocked drain nr Long Row, 29th April
This is a resubmission of a report posted on Sunday the 28th of April (ref. 5909313). The initial submission was closed the following morning.
The response to the initial report stated that: 1) a highway officer had carried out an inspection and 2) the drain could only be inspected when the water had drained away
The water has not drained away (and the drain has been overflowing constantly for the whole winter), so which of the statements in the response were not true?
The response also stated that even a well maintained gully will sometimes flood with heavy rain. Whilst I'm sure this is true, I don't understand the relevance, as this particular gully floods constantly with little or no recent rain, therefore this gully is clearly not well maintained.
The response claimed this was not a safety issue. Wet mud on the highway is absolutely a safety issue. As stated above, this gully floods almost constantly, and continues overflowing for weeks after the rain has stopped (which typically means it doesn't stop overflowing before the next rain occurs). This constant flow of water down the hill washes mud and debris from the verge onto the carriageway itself, causing a hazard.

Blocked drain near Long Row, 28th April
The drain is blocked somewhere south (downhill) of Long Row. This causes rainwater to back up and overflow from the grate on the road outside the Long Row Turkey Farm. The water then runs down the road, washing mud and debris from the verge onto the carriageway.
This issue has been present for over a year.

Previous repairs failing, 29th March
Multiple previous repairs are failing, leaving a poor, uneven road surface right on an already dangerous corner.
Uneven road surface results in vehicles having to move further towards opposite carriageway in avoidance, or hit the potholes and unbalance the vehicle.
Needs repairing properly rather than just patching. It is dangerous.
