The London Fire Brigade is advising people to avoid the area due to road closures. https:///youtu.be/FNEtJjjmOqc Closures are in place from the A2212 Burnt Ash Road (Lee Green) to Weigall Road. “We’re really sorry if you have low pressure or no water following a large burst pipe early this morning on the A20 Eltham Road, in SE12,” said Thames Water. “We’re on site and working to shut off flow from the burst. After that, supplies should begin to return to the affected area. We’d also like to apologise to drivers who have been inconvenienced by the A20 closure.” “Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters have been called to flooding on Meadowcourt Road in Blackheath and Eltham Road,” said a spokesman for the London Fire Brigade.
