We’re starting work near you soon.

Hello, I’m Luke from Thames Water and I’m writing to let you know we are investing in a programme
of work to upgrade our water pipes and we’ll soon be starting work to replace 1.5km of clean water pipe on Chislehurst Road , Elm Road and Station Road .

This is to reduce leakage, lessen the likelihood of burst pipes and reduce impact to your water supply
to ensure we can give you a more reliable service.

- The new plastic pipes are much stronger than the old pipes they replace.

- This will provide you with a more reliable water supply by reducing the risk of disruptive burst
pipes.

- By reducing leakage, we will need to take less water from the environment.

- The new, long-lasting pipes will help us continue to provide a reliable service now, and for
future generations.

We are sorry for the disruption this essential work will cause and will do everything we can to keep
this to a minimum.

When does work start?

Our work starts on Tuesday 6 January 2026 until April 2027. If that changes, we will write to you to
keep you updated.

Working Hours.

Monday – Friday from 08:00 until 17:00
Saturday 09:00 until 16:00
Sunday 10:00 until 16:00. Weekend works when required.

How are you affected
• Lane closures supported with temporary traffic lights will be used to maintain the flow of
traffic.

• There will be a need to suspend parking around our working areas. Look out for street
signage for more information on suspended parking.

• There will be a need to suspend bus stops as our work progresses.

• Pedestrian access will be maintained for residents and businesses.

• Access will be maintained for emergency vehicles.

• We are working with the local authority to assist with bin collections.

• We may also need to turn off your water supply for a short time. If so, we’ll send you a letter
with more details at the time.

We’re organising a drop-in session and would like to invite you to meet with our project team to
discuss these essential works and how they may impact you.

Venue: Morrisons Store Entrance, 1 Jenner Close, Sidcup DA14 6BF.

Date: Wednesday 26th November 2025.

Time: 16:00 – 19:00.

We look forward to answering any questions you may have.

We strongly encourage you to go along on the 26th and raise any concerns you have 💜

If someone you know needs extra help, sign up to our priority services register for free support, including braille bills and a dedicated emergency phone line.

🎄✨ Christmas Tree Toy Appeal – Year 3! ✨🎄

We’re proud to announce that, for the third year running, our Christmas Tree Toy Appeal is back in partnership with our friends at The Works!

💖 A huge thank you to Paul for all the effort he puts in every year.

🎁 All toys donated will be distributed to children in Sidcup and across the wider borough who might otherwise go without this Christmas. We’ll also be supporting the local women’s refuge.

🌟 We’re kicking things off with an incredible 20 toys already donated, thanks to the money raised at Sunday’s event at The Alma. The amazing Creakin’ Blues performed without charge to support the cause – we’re so grateful!

🙏 Special thanks also to Mat and Ronnie. With the other half of the funds raised, Mat and Ronnie will be buying goodies for the Sidcup Community Larder.

Together, we’re making Christmas brighter for those who need it most. 💫
