DIG Report Oct 2023

Harrow Pub

During September during a very heavy downpour the Harrow suffered flooding of the area immediately outside the two entrances to the pub. There was some penetration into the pub.

The likely cause of this of this was the lack of maintenance on the road drains but particularly the drain situated on the pavement beside the pub sign. We have done an article on this for the winter edition of the Hnews.

As regards remedial action, we have raised a FixMyStreet case to get the drains checked and cleared. We believe road drainage works are required. We are trying to establish a new contact with a Bucks CC drainage engineer as Jonathan Roberts is no longer contactable. David Carroll looking into this for us.

We no longer have a suitable contact with Thames Water as Darren Trenchard is no longer contactable. We are working on this.
