I’ve visited dozens of affected homes in recent weeks, and some themes are familiar. Drain maintenance and drain capacity are critical factors. I am worried that the world will move on soon, and areas in need of work will not get it.
Below is a survey designed to record what happened and where, while memories are fresh. I will use this information to lobby the council for attention in specific streets.
Please feel free to share with your neighbourhood group, bodycorp, community Facebook Page, or anyone else who lives near you. The more responses, the more effective this project will be.
This survey is designed to capture:
• Whether you or your neighbours were affected by flooding on Friday 27 or Tuesday 31 January
• The height of water you experienced in each case
• Whether your home has been red or yellow stickered
• Whether you have needed to make an insurance claim
• Whether you are aware of previous issues with the stormwater system in your area and the nature of them
• Whether previous complaints about the stormwater system had been made to council.
My goal is to collate these results and present them to Council and Local Boards so that infrastructure issues in the Epsom Electorate are known and notified. I will not identify any individual without their consent, referring only to streets rather than specific addresses. The survey does, however, ask for your details so my staff or I can contact you if necessary to check or verify any information.
If you could take a moment of your time to complete this survey, I will be very grateful, and I think it will help ensure our community is heard on the specifics.
Once again, the link is below, and the survey should take you 3-5 minutes to complete.

Maybe wanting a pragmatic way of learning to calm down and not be so reactive at home or at work. They might be tormented by anxious thoughts which they know are not rational, and have heard that mindfulness can help. Maybe a particular physical challenge that they are grappling with – an illness or pain or sleep problems or want to reduce their blood pressure. Or just simply want to get to know themselves a bit more, and have heard that mindfulness can offer a useful map for this exploration.
If you are wanting to just have a taste of mindfulness to see if it can help, come and try some initial training and see if it makes sense to you.
I run a friendly little group. I teach gentle movement suitable for any body & peaceful stillness.
The first session is free then it is by donation.
29 Saint Johns Road,
Meadowbank Community Centre Tue 7 March, 1 - 2.15pm

Catherine Beggs and her family were forced to swim to safety in waist-deep water on the night of January 27.
They returned home the following day to find they had lost all their personal belongings in the deluge - including their recently renovated home in Mt Roskill.
My grandson found a cross which had obviously become detached from a neck chain at Pt Chevalier beach on Sunday 26th. I have it here. If you think it might be yours please contact me on 02102645015. Heather

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. These are the business owners who remind us we're home.
Give your favourite local business owner the recognition they deserve by nominating them in the 2023 Prospa Local Business Hero awards.
