Infrastructure Survey

David Seymour from David Seymour - MP for Epsom

While the Epsom Electorate suburbs of Epsom, Mt Eden, Parnell and Remuera were spared the worst of Cyclone Gabrielle, many homes and businesses are still affected by flooding from last month.

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.

Yours sincerely,
