We are experiencing an issue with a blocked sewer on the odd number side of Belvour Rd.


Both us and our nieghbours are affected with gurgling and waste water bubbling up through low outlets like baths etc. We both have a "man hole" in the back garden unpleasently full of waste etc.


There is a main sewer running between Belvour and Melford towards Underhill Rd, so other properties may be affected.


If you have the classic signs of a blocked drains (toilet water levels lower than usual, raising higher during a flush before going down, gurgling in other drains - e.g. in the bath as you flush/use other taps), you may want to contact Thames Water. The more people affected, hopefully the faster it will be fixed.


This is a Thames Water's responsibilty (they are aware of this), since our drain connects to at least 1 neighbour before connecting on to a main sewer line - changes in 2011 put the responsibility for fixing on water companies for these situations.


So far this has been ongoing for 5 days with no signs of a fix. The odd tanker is being sent out pump out to lower the levels a bit, so you may have seen these in the area. Unfortunately instead of everyday as promised, we've had about 2 in the 5 days.


If you are affected please be active in keeping Thames water to task.


Thames Water contact: 0845 920 0800 (Option 1, then 3)

Rather than use these expensive o845 numbers, here are some alternatives, however I cannot guarantee accuracy.

I also live in Belvoir Road and am somewhat of an expert on the sewer having had drainage problems in the past. It runs down our back gardens as far as the single storey house that is at the bottom of No 5's garden (actually accessed from Underhill Road) - where it terminates inside the house in the bathroom.


There were people there on the weekend trying to unblock something - I haven't had a problem so far, and assumed it was confined to that property.


Thames Water may not have a record of this - control passed to Southwark Council at one stage which is when planning permission was given to build an extension on top of the access to the street sewer.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
