Drain cover collapse
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7031310.
The drain cover outside our house has suddenly collapsed and is sunken. I am not sure exactly when it happened but I believe it’s in the past week or so.

Someone has visited site it appears, and has painted some white lines around the drain, but there are no cones or other warnings of the issue to prevent road users either making the problem worse or having an accident.

Resident called as this drain is becoming worse everyday, its also not draining at all, noting there to warn road users of the hazard and route is used a lot by cyclists, could a cone be put over this asap to prevent accidents

No further on site action has been taken since a white line was drawn around the issue a few days after the report. The defect remains unprotected even after requests for that to be addressed.

As per recent conversation with the Highways Inspector for this area, the chamber is to be unblocked and works have been raised to reset the compressed gully frame.

The drain is still full of all the old debri from previous repairs and now has more debris from the new repair. As mentioned by your area inspector, the drain requires some attention to clear the contents.

Most of the loose material seems yo have been removed but the bottom of the drain still has a lot of solidified cement from previous repairs. The distance from the top of the grate to the bottom is only 16 inches.

The drain outside number 188 village way has had a ongoing issue for quite some time, debris from previous fixes solidified at bottom and in need of digging out to allow this drain to do its job. There has been work cones and barriers with a dated sign for works on 25/03/25 however nothing as of yet carried out. Can this be look at asap, as the cone and barrier is directly outside a driveway and in turn causes an obstruction.
-
Can someone please confirm if action is still needed and when it will be completed please? Additionally, the cone and barrier left to mark works on 25/4 are still at the location.

Many thanks for your continued patience. As you allude, previous attempts here have proven unsuccessful, and some work remains outstanding to resolve the flow to this drain and we are working currently with the service provider to fulfil this.
