Reducing future flooding risks

As a result of the flooding that took place on Sunday 25 and Wednesday 28 July, the Council has started to reduce the risk of flooding in the Worcester Park area.

This includes clearing gullies on roads and removing silt and debris from the Cuddington Rec culvert, alongside Thames Water. We also want to thank residents who have been clearing the drainage channel.

We would again like to express our deepest sympathies to all our residents that have experienced flooding. Please be reassured we are reviewing what action we can take to further reduce flood risk.
