Hello all

I just wanted to share with you the email that I have sent regarding this issue to Thames Water - happy to meet with residents next week to discuss this and other issues.

Feel free to contact me using the details below or I will be at Forest Hill Library on Saturday 14 February 10.30am to 12 noon for an advice Surgery

Email to Thames Water

To whom it may concern

As the Councillor for Forest Hill ward in Lewisham I have been contacted by a number of residents in Ewelme Road in Forest Hill regarding surface water on this road and the danger that it causes. Residents do seem to have received a number of responses from Thames Water – ranging from underwater stream, Lewisham refusing major works permission or a problem with the drains – with no concrete action taken or outlined.

At present this water is freezing and causing parts of the road to be extremely dangerous for cyclist, pedestrians and drivers. I am seeking clarification from Lewisham regarding their policy on gritting this road.

I am due to be meeting with residents next week and would appreciate a concrete update regarding what action could be taken before this meeting next week or alternatively would Thames Water consider meeting myself and local residents on this Road to discuss this issue further.

Best wishes
