Flooding in Chiswick - why doesn't LBH unblock the drains?
Thinking back to happier times, I remember council lorries and staff doing maintenance work during the summer months, clearing gutters and drains of weeds and other debris so that water freely flowed down them when the winter rains came. After yesterday's overnight rain much of Chiswick was under water, but 'surprisingly, one area that was not affected by flooding was the Fishers Lane underpass which usually becomes a lake when there is heavy rainfall. It is understood that recent work undertaken at the site improved the existing drainage system'. So it can be done if it's one of the council's pet projects! Come on Hounslow - how about improving life for all residents and unblock our drains?
