Brixton Flood Alleviation Scheme

[Not a Vet]

Got a letter today from Thames water explaining that the new flood relief tunnel sewer is going right under my property. Is anyone else here affected?

[Not a Vet]

I'll take that as a no then!:)

[Poot]

No but part of my job is to deal with the paperwork for such schemes (not in London, though). If you've got any questions, I will be able to answer them or ask someone who knows :)

[story]

Yes, I'd heard something about this. Some enormo-sewer being built underground.

Curses! Where did I read that??

Can't work out from the streets named below whether the works are along the historic line of the Effra, the separate "Effra Sewer" - which IIRC is actually a storm drain, not a foul sewer, or a mix of the two.
