Warrendene Road Drainage Works

This is scheduled to take place next week starting 23^rd February. My understanding is that the initial focus is on clearance and deepening of the ditch, but they should additionally be jetting the drains as well. I am also hopeful that several reported drainage problems will be resolved at this point. At a later point the road drains will be removed and replaced with larger models.

It will be helpful if you can keep an eye open for any work relating to your own particular issue. I will be visiting several times to see what is happening and will try to check in with James Tunnard during the period of the work.

Sewage Issues near the Village hall

I am glad to say that the garden flooding experienced at Woodland Cottage in Valley Road has been resolved for the present – a partial blockage was found in the back sewer down near its junction with the Boss Lane sewer.

However, Matt Hopkins reports that the levels in that sewer remain high and that TW have indicated that the sewer is overloaded from the park through to High Wycombe. TW are believed to be working to alleviate this.

As a result of this the network is backing up towards Hughenden Valley. Hopefully, this is not a sign of problems to come for us near the village hall. I have checked my inspection pit this morning – it is perhaps 10% full, it was empty this time last week.
