When coming up the hill from HOP Station on Monday evening at about 20.30, the leak was in full glory and it is in the same place where the temporary lights were before Christmas. Thames Water had these in place for a week, dug up the road and fiddled a bit. When the surface was reinstated, the leak was back within a week. The same thing has happened on the other side of the crest in Forest Hill Road. Also I see that the waterfall by the flats opposite Benson Rad is back and this is in addition to at least three other weeping road surfaces within about 1 km of the closure. I wonder if Thames Water plc sticks a gob of chewing gum in the leak and hopes for the best. After all it would be cheaper than a proper repair.
