I reported the massive ponding/puddling at Adys/East D Road to Cllr McAsh and the enviro. services at Southwark. I got a reply pretty quickly so I hope it will be seen to.

Stands to reason that if we have more episodes of heavy rain and wind, which dislodges leaves and twigs in any case which get lodged in the grids, then we need effective and repeated drain cleaning.

Please report blocked drains to the environmental services at Southwark and give a clear location, ideally CCing your Cllr.

I think this part of the infrastructure is dealt with by the council, which did not refer me to any other body when I received their reply. Perhaps they report it to the water board, but seeing as it is affecting the roads and pavements my first port of call would be the council. Either way, it is being dealt with.

Usually yes: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/environment/flood-risk-management/reporting-flooding-from-public-sewers-pipes-and-drains

It is mainly caused by a leak which I reported a few days ago to Thames Water and found I was not the first person to report this. That said the clogging by leaves was making the puddle worse and someone, probably Southwark street cleaning has cleared them away reducing the flood.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
