Tokyngton Avenue flooded again yesterday and Brent Council issues the statement below. They have promised updates on this LINK.
We are aware of the flooding in Tokyngton Avenue and are working closely with the Environment Agency to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Over the coming days you may notice more noise outside as passageways are dug to make space for the water to flow away again.
This work is vital to reduce the risk of homes in Tokyngton Avenue being flooded again.
As rain is predicted to fall over the coming days, there is the possibility the Environment Agency will need to bring in industrial water pumps to help drain surface water. These are big systems so we may need to temporarily close some roads and pathways in the area to put this in place.
Thank you for your patience while we do everything we can to get this resolved.
If you experience any further flooding, please call the Environment Agency on 0845 850 3518 immediately and provide the reference number 2174690. You do not need to ring the council or any other agency.
- Provide your name, address, post code and contact telephone number
- Please describe what you are experiencing. For example, is the water level rising, has it flooded your garden, is it coming into you home?
- Please advise where you believe the water is coming from
Once you have contacted the Environment Agency, a Duty Officer will attend the scene if appropriate. They will then decide the best course of action to be taken. Do not let anyone without proper official identification into your home. Council officers and Environment Agency officials always carry identification and will show this when asked.
We are aware that the Environment Agency has provided properties that may be affected by flooding with sandbags for you to use when and if required.
In an emergency, if you need to leave your home because of water entering your property, please call the Fire Brigade on 999.
