Wadley Road: Surface Water Management

Wadley Road in the London Borough of Waltham Forest sits along the Fillebrook River course at the bottom of a local catchment. This topography makes the area particularly vulnerable to flooding during intense rainfall. In July 2021, the street was severely affected by surface water flooding, with some residents unable to remain in their homes for a considerable period. This event exposed the limitations of conventional drainage infrastructure and highlighted the urgent need for a more resilient, sustainable approach to managing surface water and supporting residents in the face of climate change. Delivered by Waltham Forest Council with Meristem Design, Project Centre and Riney, the Wadley Road SuDS scheme transforms a flood-prone street. Rain gardens, porous surfacing and underground storage manage water at source, cutting flood risk and boosting biodiversity.
