With thanks to Derek Bryan, Bob Burge and Mark Simmons, here’s the latest update as of Friday evening:
Today the Thames Water sub contractor completed the repair to the sewer and then used a TV camera to inspect the inside from lower down the hill. This revealed a further obstruction/misalignment uphill from the present repair. They will now uncover and inspect the sewer for 4.5 m uphill from the present damaged area and repair as necessary. That may be completed over […]
A two man team from Thames Water contractors, Cappagh, arrived on site this morning and commenced hand clearing the site in the area of the sewer pipe. Cappagh Contracts supervisor arrived shortly afterwards and was very unhappy with the condition of the site and immediately closed it down on health and safety grounds; both to work crew and general public.

They advised that the break did not appear to be confined to the immediate area of the inital break but extended back for an as yet undetermined distance, in the direction of the island at the junction of Chiltern Hill with Ellis Avenue.

We have now arranged for Veolia to attend as well on Monday morning as well as […]

The water company Veolia were working onsite yesterday evening. For the time being Chiltern Hill is closed at this point: if you can take an alternative route through the estate, […]
Residents on the estate have voted overwhelmingly in favour of becoming a Neighbourhood Watch.
The scheme has already been established and approved by the Community Safety Officer at Chiltern District Council, working with Thames Valley Police. Twelve residents have volunteered to act as deputies representing individual roads, and all have been confirmed after a police check.
The estate also voted in favour of roads becoming designated “No Doorstep Selling Zones”, in the interests of reducing crime and restricting unsolicited doorstep sales calls.
