Temporary closure of Chiltern Hill below the Island

Thames Water’s contractor arrived on Monday, 6th January to carry out remedial work on the sewer below the island on Chiltern Hill. Chiltern Hill will be closed at some point either this or next week and we will update the website and email residents once we have further information on the works from Thames Water.

Road subsidence in Lewis Lane

An area of subsidence has developed in the road surface outside Overcombe in Lewis Lane, it is on the driving line but can, with care, be avoided. Thames Water re investigated the road surface and intend to come back within the next 12 to 15 days, they have advised that us that the sewer drain is structurally fit.

If there is further subsidence before remedial work can be carried out, we may have to consider closing Lewis Lane above Bochym.  In the meantime, please be very careful.
