Peckham Rye waterlogged this morning

True, there was an awful lot of rain but the flooding seems worse than before all the work started!

The flood alleviation works are to help avoid floods in surrounding streets, not in the park/common. To store more water in the area which is already the most absorbent.

Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye are always Waterlogged over late Autumn and winter.  Not sure why you need to point this out.  Southwark put in drainage on one of the areas where football is played, this was working well.  The issue is South London clay.  Part of our back garden gets waterlogged too.

There was also massive pools off water on the South Circus too

Lunchtime at the path opposite Harris Boys school, there where two Thames Water vans parked on the path running through the park, close to the gates with Peckham ye Park dealing with the huge puddle that had formed on the grass. (same spot/area to the right of the path, where it's been forming for the last couple of years)
