flag Sewage from a misconnected pipe in Crouch End is polluting a London park’s brook, exposing systemic plumbing and accountability failures.

flag Raw sewage from a building on Park Road in Crouch End has been surfacing in Lordship Recreation Ground, polluting the Moselle Brook, according to London Centric. flag The issue stems from a misconnected pipe likely caused by unqualified plumbers or DIY work, not Thames Water’s infrastructure. flag Haringey Council has not identified the specific building despite investigating the source, drawing criticism for lack of transparency and responsiveness. flag The borough has the highest number of confirmed misconnection cases in London—161—with some properties leaking sewage for over 16 years without action. flag Environmental advocates and journalists spent eight months tracing the pollution, highlighting systemic challenges in holding authorities accountable. flag The incident underscores a broader London-wide problem where untreated waste enters public waterways due to faulty plumbing, despite councils having the power to enforce fixes and charge property owners.
