Burstow petitions Parliament for an end to Green Lane flood misery

July 16, 2009 10:36 AM

Local MP Paul Burstow has presented a petition to Parliament on behalf of the residents of Green Lane pressing the Government to provide money for a scheme to alleviate the flood risk from the Beverly brook.

Following the torrential rain of July 2007 which caused significant damage in this area of Worcester Park, the Environment Agency has proposed a scheme to prevent any future flooding.

The project would cost an estimated £1.5 million and Mr Burstow is petitioning the Government for it to be implemented as soon as possible.

'Residents of Green Lane want an end to their water misery. Now we have a practical proposal from the Environment Agency to solve the problem all that remains is for the Government to give the green light for the money.

'I will be doing everything I can to put pressure on the Government, before the summer recess, so we can get this problem sorted once and for all.'

    If you are a resident of the Sutton and Cheam constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
