Lower Marsh Lane
A sewage leak closed a New Malden park after Storm Imogen swept through the borough.
Power failed on the water pumps during the storm over the weekend causing sewage to leak from the nearby Hogsmill Sewage Treatment Works, into part of Green Lane Recreation Ground.
Thames Water was called to deal with the situation on Monday, the park gates were locked and cleaning began. When it is agreed to be safe to re-open, between Thames Water and Kingston Council, fencing will close off the polluted area while it is cleaned.
A dog walker, who got in touch with the Surrey Comet when the gates were locked, said the sewage can be seen from the pedestrian gate off Green Lane and a large flock of seagulls are gathered in the area.
A letter written by Kingston Council is attached to one of the gates to explain why it is locked.
