Flooding on Kilburn High Road

We've just received this message from Camden about flooding in Kilburn High Road:

As you may be aware there has been a burst water main on Kilburn High Road which has caused some significant flooding.

Following the incident Kilburn High Road is now open. The only road now closed is Christchurch Avenue (within the London Borough of Brent). Christchurch Avenue (the source of the Thames Water leak) will remained closed for repair works until 30/07/2012 – according to TFL Olympic Games Desk.  No other roads will be affected by Thames Water carrying out repairs at this time. There may, however be further remedial works required in Kilburn High Road after the Olympic Games.

Some properties (both in Brent and Camden) have been affected by flooding - the Fire Brigade were pumping out properties affected  but have now left the scene of the incident . NHS London have advised that the GP Surgery at 279 Kilburn High Road is closed due to being affected with the flooding.  No council properties have been affected.

Camden Council's Network Management Team have sent the Network Coordinator for this area to the scene.  The NC is working with Thames Water representatives on scene to establish the extent of the damage.
