A shocking sewage leak in Brockham has left residents frustrated as waste flows into the River Mole, raising health concerns.
Brockham: So, there’s been quite a mess in Brockham lately. Raw sewage, including loo paper and what looks like condoms, has been pouring out of a broken manhole cover right into the River Mole. Chris Coghlan, the local MP, caught it all on video. It’s pretty shocking to see waste just spewing out like that, especially so close to the river.
Neighbors have been complaining for ages, trying to get Thames Water to sort it out. They finally got fed up and reached out to Coghlan, who’s now on the case. Thames Water has apologized and promised to clean up the area, but it’s frustrating for everyone involved.
In his video, Coghlan didn’t hold back. He pointed out the mess and mentioned how this has been a long-standing issue. People want to enjoy the river, especially with kids, but they can’t because of the sewage problem. It’s not just gross; it’s a health hazard with E. Coli being dumped into the water.
Thames Water is keeping an eye on things with their storm discharge map, but it seems like there are still issues in other areas too. They’ve even warned folks in South East London to boil their water due to E. Coli concerns.
A spokesperson from Thames Water said they responded to the flooding reports and will investigate why it happened. They’re also planning to clean up the area. It’s a tough situation, and residents just want it fixed.
