Flooding Update

EPC has received the following update from Hampshire Highways:

Thank you for your email received on the 27^th November 2024 concerning surface water flooding to the highway at Eversley Centre between The Fielders and Lindum Nurseries.

Hampshire County Council Highways undertook emergency works in a bid to clear the blocked highway drainage on Monday 25^th and Tuesday 26^th November. On each occasion the attending team worked for around five hours to clear the blockages but were unsuccessful. On Tuesday night their high-pressure jetting work indicated that there was a root mass in the main carrier drain which discharges into the ditch adjacent to the bungalow named Happy Review.

On Wednesday (27^th November) night Highways were able to redirect a resource which included a robotic root cutter who have cleared a substantial amount of root from the drainage system. The carrier drain is now operating at circa 50% and the initial hazard is removed, further work is however required for which another order has been raised.
