We live at the Plough end of Lordship Lane and have no cold water. Apparently there is a burst main in Oakhurst Grove which Thames Water only found out about an hour ago or so, and they are saying we may not have water until the morning. Not sure whether this is affecting all the streets between us and G Green?


Any more news gratefully received...

There has been two in Oakhurst, one that was resolved earlier this week (that had been reported for two weeks before anything was done) and now there is a new one which when I went by it this morning on my way to work the road was dug up, I had issues with the water in the shower this morning but the water was still running and Im about 4 houses from the main that is burst.

My bedroom overlooks the leak. Two chaps turned up at midnight with a small digger and ... dug.


One big hole and a fountain later, they set too and fixed it. Leaving a big but dry hole surrounded by some plasic fencing.


It was the middle of the night, pishing down with rain, water was coming upward at a rate of knots and it was cold, hats off to them.

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
