People and properties in Lewisham face considerable risks of flooding amid the frequent flooding events seen in London this year. That s according to information presented at a virtual meeting on flood risk in Lewisham held over Zoothis week. The meeting was convened by the legendary Qwag environmental group, a community-led project aimed at river conservation and restoration in the borough. Lewisham Council s Flood Risk Manager Marcus Gayle was invited by Qwag to discuss the issue in detail and gave an informative take on the risks facing Lewisham residents. He detailed Lewisham flooding incidents from Catford Station in 1968 to Loampit Vale in 2016, and pointed out how the built-on urban environment is further heightening flood risks by making the ground impermeable and unable to drain heavy rains and surface water sufficiently.
