Flooded houses when heavy rain
Reported via desktop in the Flooding in the road category anonymously at 09:25, Fri 22 October 2021
Sent to London Borough of Bexley less than a minute later. Report ref: 3077721.
As you are aware on Wednesday evening (20th Oct 2021) there was substantial rain. Unfortunately as a result of this, the rain water was running off / down the road, over the pavements and into the Gardens / Driveways, particularly on number 15,17,19 & 21, causing the rainwater to build up and go over the airbricks in each of the houses, filling up about a quarter of the driveway with water, and causing some water to enter some of the houses, as it was creating pools of water about 6 inches deep all along the front of the houses. This not the first time this has happened, but the first time I am contacting you, as the drainage in this area of the road appears to not be working correctly, and I believe may need to be reviewed to possibly have a further drain placed in the road so that the water can drain away in the road, rather than entering properties. Thanks in advance
