Tokyngton Avenue/Stonebridge Park Station floods - trapped man rescued from van, 14 people evacuated. Flooding in Kenton too.

 


From Brent Council

2 August - 6.30pm update

This afternoon’s extremely heavy rainfall has overwhelmed the existing flood preventive measures in place and unfortunately a number of households on Tokyngton Avenue have been flooded.

The Fire Brigade are currently on site with five fire engines, along with council officers and a team from the Environment Agency.

If your home has been affected and you need somewhere to go, the council has setup a rest centre at Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way, Wembley Park, HA9 0FJ.

If you are affected and need help please call 020 8937 1234.

Point Place, Tokyngton Avenue, and Argenta Way are closed due to flooding. The 112 and 440 bus routes towards Ealing are being diverted by TfL.

We will post further updates as they become available. HERE

There are suggestions that debris from nearby building sites causing blockages may have contributed to the flooding as well as paved over gardens.




Flooding in Kenton too:
