During the year under review the Minister of Housing and
Local Government announced his decision on the report of his
Inspector following a public local enquiry held to consider the
measures to be taken to relieve this problem.
A draft scheme submitted to the Minister and confirmed subject
to certain amendments and modifications recommended by the
Inspector, makes provision for a new sewer from Purley Corner to
Warham Road to be constructed by the Croydon Corporation at
their expense.
It is hoped that there will now be a speedy solution to a long
standing nuisance.
From time to time local flooding takes place at other points
in the District in periods of heavy rainfall and these matters are
receiving consideration.
