Flooding in gardens from A2
Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS3402800.
There are longstanding problems with flooding in the gardens backing onto the A2. My reason for contacting you is I am concerned the water may well be affecting the footpath, eroding the ground beneath, risking collapse of path, and even sink holes forming. This is due, I have discovered, to a blocked soak away drain pipe below the A2, owned, I believe, by TFL. Thames water investigated the water, and established the root cause, sending a camera down the drain pipe, and seeing the roots growing into it, and the 'tide marks' where water had been building up, with only the local low area to go to. This has been on going for several years, and I am concerned the public walkway is being affected.

There is a big problem with rain water draining from A2 into the gardens below. The soak away pipe is no longer effective enough to cope with the problem, and is almost certainly undermining the paths that run there, too.
