April 2011 update - ALL GOOD SO FAR

Hi folks, we're still here, and thus far it seems we're winning! Thames Water requested more pictures of the flooding a while ago to help build the financial case. Haven't heard from them in a couple of months but that's not new - this is a huge project and the wheels move slowly. BUT AT LEAST THEY ARE MOVING!

We'll update again once we have more news.

ABOUT MAIDA FLOOD ACTION

Why does this campaign exist?
The original campaign has done its job and we thank Thames Water for taking us seriously and taking action. Several neighbourhoods in W9 and NW6 have flooded many times. This is due to inadequate drainage that can’t handle sudden bursts of heavy rain.

What are our objectives?
Originally it was to ensure that Thames Water accepted responsibility and put a solution in place to resolve it. Now we plan to keep people informed of progress once work starts.

Who are we?
Local residents, residents' associations, landlords and businesses in Maida Hill, Maida Vale area and Little Venice.

How did local residents help?
Thames Water initially said there was no problem because they didn't have enough evidence of complaints. With the questionnaire information and all the names on the petition, we were able to prove there's a BIG problem and get Thames Water's agreement to resolve it.
