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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
