Flooding at the sports centre underpass in November 2022 was caused by roots growing into a drain. This was cleared, and further work saw replacement of a pump which was no longer working.
However, repeated flooding at this underpass, and the one near KFC (Bagshot Road) and 48, occurred in early 2023 as a result of continuing issues with the power supply to water pumps.
These issues were followed up with SSE, the power supplier. They were made aware of disruption to residents and the cost to the Council of the flooding. Further work has stabilised the power supply and the underpasses are back in use.
