Burst pipe in underhill road near barry road

[tedfudge]

There's a burst pipe at underhill road near barry road and road is closed , the water was pouring down barry road so I walked along and moved leafs and debris away from drains and water stopped coming down barry road towards peckham rye. You would think that thames water would have someone there fixing issue but nope nobody there doing a thing but they want to tell us no hosepipe etc and charge us £75 a month.

Yes. I saw it early Saturday morning. TW arrived and put cones out but not done anything about fixing it. So it’s been pouring out water for about 40 hours now. My most recent water bill was £90 more than the previous one although I had used less water….

Its disgraceful especially when they want to charge us more and more

How am I going to get work tomorrow.  Thames water have planned works at Underhill Rd where it meets Melford Rd.  So I decided to avoid the P13 and 363 bus routes this week.  Now if Barry Rd is closed it will affect the 197 and 12 bus routes.  I am so fed up with continuous disruption to basic transport in this area.  I love East Dulwich but I do not love the local transport and road works.

After all the work they’ve done in the area recently? I can barely remember a time when there wasn’t road dug up, bus stops closed and one leak or another.

Barry road is not closed just underhill road

Guessing this has been reported to Thames Water, if you want to bump this and push it a bit harder, suggest posting on Thames Water Twitter/x page.

Is Underhill closed to the north or south of Barry? Can you access Barry from the Horniman end of Underhill or not?

It is open now it will have🚦 🚦 🚦 put in today.  Thames water are testing the lead levels  I think.

It was very firmly closed 2 minutes ago between Friern and Barry (diversion down Friern). The actual barriers are Just west of the Henslowe road junction.

What a mess this morning. The back roads around Goodrich are full of diverted traffic. Nearly got hit by an obscenely-sized blue Audi (AE71… please get this obscenity off the ED roads or at the very least learn how to drive it.)

If forced onto the road by the diversion this may not have been the driver's chosen route. Although a car (even a large SUV, unless it's a Hummer) should be able to navigate our side streets. But drivers do try to choose roads they are comfortable on. And it may be that the car isn't one the driver uses regularly. So may be less certain of e.g. clearances.

Or some peeps just can not drive LOL the big posh motors they own.
