Unfortunately our flat flooded back in July, as did the gallery on Upland Road....this is the second time our property has flooded since moving in back in Dec 2005. I am currently on a mission to get Thames Water to do something about it...but my patience is wearing thin, chasing contents insurers, loss adjusters and T.W, I regularly find myself banging my head against a brick wall. Until something similar happens to the big wigs within these companies I doubt much will be actioned? The chances are it's going to happen again, and again and again....Is there anyone out there who has suffered from flooding in E.D who wants to join forces in challenging T.W????


If not I feel better just for having a bit of a moan!!!

Sorry to hear that.


As much as I loath the ambulance chaser lawyers that advertise, who not drop one a line and see if they would be willing to take on a no win, no fee case to get TW to sort out the problems that cause this. (I assume it's blocked drains cusing this, as opposed to yopu living in a very obvious water collection point?)


MIght work?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
