Good morning , I have just reported a burst main at the top of Fleming drive OX77HH, water is now running down the drive entering the driveways of Fleming close, Which is down hill from the burst main. There are three drains two on the same side as two Fleming drive and one next to the conifer hedge on the other side of the drive, all three are blocked.

  • By way of including more info for this. Thames Water are in attendance to repair the burst main but all the water from the burst main on Fleming Drive was coming down Fleming Close due to the slope of the ground. None of the 3 possible drains in Fleming Close that the water crossed were working due to being blocked and my house (2 Fleming Close), at the bottom of Fleming Close, was in immediate danger of flooding. If it wasn't for the extreme efforts of me and my neighbours it would have flooded this morning. All 3 drains need clearing as a matter of urgency please. Not only because of this immediate problem but because none of the drains are working due to blockage and none will clear any amount of rainwater. As we move into winter, storms will happen and all the rainwater will again just flood towards my house.
