  • This has still not been fixed and has been reported annually for over 7 years. This causes a serious safety issue with cars coming over the blind summit from princes risborough and being faced with either large amounts of standing water or cars oncoming in the middle of the road trying to avoid the flood. There are two surface water drains here that are constantly blocked and need clearing to prevent further flooding and accidents
