Reported few months ago. Been ongoing problem for some years whenever we get lots of rain. Still not resolved. Impedes access for my disabled husband to facilities such as GP.

  • Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
    Our engineers have inspected the area and are satisfied that no further action is required at this time. We have twice this year inspected the drain within 5 hours of heavy rainfall and both times by this point all water had drained away, indicating that whilst drainage is slow it functions sufficiently. If the issue becomes worse, please do contact us again.

    Many thanks,
    Central Bedfordshire Council Highways
