Water leak - Dunstans Road

[Monkey]

I’ve reported the water leak outside 36/38 Dunstans Road to Thames Water and Southwark Council yet again this morning.  

This has been going on for about 18 months now. This is really dangerous when it freezes over like today, causing me (and maybe others) to come off my bike last year in front of oncoming traffic. 

Does anybody know what’s going on?

Thank you.

Have you reported to the local MP and councillor?

I agree, reported it last year, but no response.

Recommend emailing your local councillors and MP

I was under the impression that a local councillor lives in that street. Presumably then, the council are already aware.

I’ve told the council (twice), our Dulwich Hill councillor, and Thames Water (twice).

Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
