A resident who lives on the A413 close to the crash site sent me a copy of a letter she recently sent to the relevant people and organisations. It concerns an activity which we knew had happened in the past but had no documentary evidence to prove.
"I have lived on this road for almost 3 years and lived in the local area for 17 years. Living on the A413 it has made me aware just how dangerous this stretch of road is - being so dark, with constant flooding and some drivers using it as a race track!
I am writing again because I found a Gully Cleaner from Flowline EMPTYING his lorry all over the road right in front of my house (4.30pm last Thursday 20th January)! Why on earth would he pour all of the filthy water and other muck he has spent all day collecting back onto a road that still floods!! I thought the idea of gully cleaning was to prevent flooding. Why are we paying rates for this service if the companies that are employed to carry out the job do not dispose of the waste in the appropriate designated areas? The smell outside of my house was awful.
The driver was so surprised to see me that he jumped into his lorry and drove off with the cap still off the outlet and spewing the waste all over the road. He then joined the A413, crossed the dual carriageway, pulled into another lay-by across the road and carried on emptying. I followed him to get his registration number, company name and phone number and reported it. . . . ."
It now transpires that Flowline are not employed by Bucks County Council.Is this an example of Gross Negligence. . . . . . .
