There's a burst watermain on the South Circular opposite Horniman Gardens, the outflow of which is running down the hill towards the Grove. There were people working on it at 13.30 but it's making the surface unpleasantly greasy and it'll only get worse as the temperature drops towards rush hour, so two wheeled travellers may wish to consider an alternative route.

I was stuck in this earlier this afternoon. Nightmare, and potentially dangerous if we go sub zero again. Yet more shocking driving along that stretch where the main road meets the filter lane for the right turn up the hill. My blood pressure must be off the scale with the amount of screaming and shouting I've been doing today.

    • But without knowing the cause of the repeated leaks, it's impossible to comment really. Poor repairs? Something wrong further up the system? Lack of maintenance?  When one of the leaks in our road recurred shortly after it had been repaired, a TW guy said to me that the repairers must have jumped too hard on the asphalt (?) laid above the point of the repair when they were getting it to settle (?) and broken the repair. I wasn't sure if he was joking or not 🤣
    • But in many cases the leaks are happening in the same places again and again, and every inch of pipe outside the Horniman on the South Circular must have been replaced at least 3 times in the last 15 years! Of course the infrastructure in some areas is old, but locally there's been quite a bit of replacement. To little effect it would seem. 
    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
