Why when Surrey County Council can't see it of course!!!Many residents will have encountered the flood that regularly engulfs the zebra crossing on the route from Brewery Road car park to Footpath 19A (a popular walking route to Horsell Park and beyond).
At times the flood renders the crossing totally unusable. As the flood subsides it is possible to travel across the road in the vicinity of the crossing, but this may involve pushing the button on the Pelican lights and then running to the edge of the crossing to find dry land.
Pedestrians walking along the pavement are at risk of a free cold shower. Some drivers are considerate and slow down or drive in the centre of the road (on-coming traffic allowing). Others race through with not a care for those on foot. Back in January my daughter and I were soaked by some inconsiderate fool travelling through the standing water at speed.
Surrey say they don't know what is causing the flooding. They recently told the local paper there wasn't a flood there when they came to look at the situation. I expect that would be because of their dreadful response times. Anybody who has sent an email to Surrey will probaly recall getting an instant response - but this response just tells you they will respond to you query in 20 working days. A month, to respond to a query!!
