The Drains, Culverts, Gullies and Underground Pipes team aim is to identify organisations and individuals responsible for the associated water management infrastructure. The team will assess whether the stakeholders are taking the required action and how effective that action is in reducing the risk of flooding in Buckingham. Where the stakeholders are not discharging their responsibilities, the group will seek to remind them and if necessary, hold them to account.

We have made good contacts with various responsible organisations, for example Anglian Water, Buckinghamshire Council and Buckingham Town Council, however action taking is proving a challenge and chasing is time consuming..

The group have recently had success in identifying ownership of a blocked culvert in the park and an open manhole in the same area and are working to have these urgently dealt with.

The group have registered a number of drain and gully issues on the council's chosen tool, "FixMyStreet", these have also been successfully dealt with. These requests have led to a number of drains being attended and cleaned along with a number of other items being dealt with by the correct group.
