Drain clearence in Clapham
Dear Transport for London,
How often are the drains meant to be cleared in the following roads in Clapham?
Clapham Common Southside between Clapham Common Station and Clapham South Station (A3/A24)
Cavendish Road between Clapham Common Southside and Poynders Road (A205)
When were the drains last cleared out on these roads and when are they due to be cleaned again?
As several are blocked why have they not been cleaned out as a matter of urgency?
Yours faithfully,
Bernard Gentry
Vauxhall Conservative Association Organising Secretary

Dear Mr Gentry,
Re.: Clapham Common South Side (A3), SW4; and Cavendish Road (A205), SW12
- drain cleaning regime
Thank you for your email of February 4 regarding the above. Your queries
have been investigated by our maintenance team at Transport for London
(TfL) that oversees these sections of our road network. I am pleased to
convey their conclusions.
Please be advised that we are aware of the issue of standing water in
Cavendish Road, and regret that the situation has proved difficult thus
far to address successfully. The matter has received - and continues to
receive - our active attention. Our engineers undertook a drainage
investigation at the site during in October and November of last year. The
previous time to this that the drains on Cavendish Road were cleared was
at the end of July 2012.
The last time that Clapham Common South Side was cleaned was in early
January of this year. The gullies here were cleaned in an overnight
operation.
You may note that we have scheduled further cleaning works at both these
sites, and will deploy a team to dig by hand to ensure that a full
cleaning process is undertaken. Please understand that such work can only
proceed without causing any major disruption to the traffic network and by
adhering to safe working methods.
Thank you once again for having raised these matters with us. I shall be
happy to assist if you have any further concerns or queries.
Yours sincerely,
David Goudge
Customer Service Advisor
