In progress
Entire road has flooded with sewage
Reported via desktop in the Blocked Drain or Gully category anonymously at 16:38, Wednesday 24 June 2026
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1287280-F4L8J4.
From the storm on the night of the 23rd, the entirety of the sewers have flooded, and the whole road and much f the pavement is coated in foul smelling residue as it has dried off in the sun. From the smell, this is a public health hazard. It has also come up through any drains on private property, so a few of the front gardens are wrecked as well

Thank you for reporting a blocked drain or gully.
If we can clear the blockage using a tanker with a suction hose, we will do this within 5 working days of your report.
If more complex work is needed such as digging out compacted silt or repairing collapsed drains, it may take longer.
If we cannot get access because of parked cars, we will return within 10 working days.Did you know…?
We manage and maintain 17,900 road gullies across the borough. All high-risk gullies in areas known to have flooding issues are cleaned at least once a year and all other gullies are cleaned bi-annually.
