On both sides at the top by the museum. Something tells me that as its coming out by the kerbs on both sides, it’s gonna take some fixing
Oh dear, that will be a big issue.
I reported another one just off Westwood Park last weekend as well.
Safe to say it’s been reported… Now let’s see how long it’s left while they plan a repair. Can they get it done before the holidays end?
Exactly The criteria is
Week 1: Block the road and put in diversions and start to dig a hole then leave it for a week
Week 2: Start to continue to dig the hole then stand around looking down it
Week 3: Continue to dig the hole then leave it
Week 4: Do the repair and leave it
Week 5 fill in the hole
Week 6: Tarmac it
Week 7: Dig it up against because it it leaking again.
I live in a road that is only accessible for emergency vehicles via London Road has the top part of it is a private unmade and very bumpy and could be life threatening and dangerous to all the residents especially if their have an spine injury and their are delayed by the closures London Road. If any deaths does happen and emergency vehicles are delayed . Then put in a lawsuit to to managing directors of
Water of corporate manslaughter for causing a delay.
One small positive. With the tarmac removed, you can actually see some of the original cobbles which I assume were the Victorian road?
Naaaah that’s just the last dodgy contractors who had no concrete so bricked it up. ![]()
Will all be gone forever soon I’m sure. On a serious note, I did notice damage right across the roadway starting to occur. So hope this will all be fixed when the leak is done. Perry Vale was to be fair.
There’s a contraflow by the Horniman Museum bus stop which is a relief as I thought it’d involve three way temporary lights.
Early days lol
Let’s see what they find once they really get stuck in
This is so exciting, tickets for the roadworks tour are selling out fast. Will add more dates soon.
Just to update that I’ve been chasing Thames water the past two week about fixing these - glad they’ve now patched the - from what I’ve seen - worst ones on London Road and Westwood - I’m still chasing them about Hermitage which is like a river. I’m also writing to our MP about the state of it. If anyone else sees particularly bad ones do message me -or email my council email - and you can also report new ones here Report a problem | Leak, blockage, pollution | Thames Water
All back to normal today.
