Recorded 9th August 2021
The applicant denied all knowledge of flooding at 231 Watford Road and last week's Planning Committee when the Mumbai Junction plannin application was approved. The above video has been sent to planning officers as they need to be awate of the real situation.
A resident writes:
There are usually 3 or 4 event like this per year when the drainage manhole on Sudbury Court Drive near the junction with Bengeworth Road blows out due to a lack of capacity in the surface water drainage systems locally. The water runs down hill to the roundabout and across the road towards 23 Watford Road. Thames Water are often contacted via the council to resolve.
Officers also appeared to minimise the number of traffic accidents on roads in the area. Twitter tells a different story.
Loads more accidents happen than we can record ans especially the Council and Crashmap record. The accident damage changes to the John Lyon Roundabout and near by street furniture show how many accidents happen in the vicinity. It is sad that the highways officers in planning don't know about them and expect the non-existent police presence to report them, shows poor the highways planning responses are.
