We are bringing to your attention, that four representatives from Thames Water will be attending our next meeting to address the issues concerning the pumping station in Launton Road.
As many residents will know this has been the subject of on-going problems for many years, usually when there has been heavy rain. The rain floods into the road drains and then onwards into the sewers. The result being that the pumping station cannot cope and flooding occurs mainly in the Launton Road, Mill Road and Church Street. Some residents experience problems in their houses and gardens with waste water backing up in their drains.
Thames Water are usually very responsive and have regularly attempted to resolve the problems but these short term measures do not prevent the problem returning each year.
They have agreed to come and discuss the issue and what can done about it and anyone interested is encourage to attend the meeting.
