You can't have failed to notice the huge roadworks being carried out throughout the neighbourhood. Navigating between Mill Lane and West End Lane is like a game of snakes and ladders with many of the roads blocked off.
Local resident, Ed, emailed Northwest 6 to ask if we could shed light on what's going on.
Do you know what the council are fixing by digging the enormous hole at the bottom of Broomsleigh St by the railway line? I live on Narcissus Road, not too far away, and we've 2x similar holes on Solent and Holmdale roads respectively. They seem to be filling them with a concrete cylinder and filling them over.
In fact, the works are being undertaken for Thames Water to improve flood defences. Apparently, the cylinder being driven beneath Broomsleigh Street will extend all underneath the railway to the Peace Park on the other side.
The work was initiated in response to flooding in the area in 2002.
