Plumstead residents call for action over flash floods
Cape Argus
|July 18, 2025
RECURRING PROBLEM
RESIDENTS of Tynemouth Road in Plumstead have raised concerns following repeated incidents of flash flooding during heavy storms, with some reporting significant property damage.
Recent storms once again caused flooding along the street, a problem residents say has been ongoing for years during periods of intense rainfall.
Jason Smith said the flash floods ended up flooding through their entire homes.
“It happens around two to three times a year and there is no resolution,” he said.
Smith has been living in the area for 12 years and said last year he had to make insurance claims of over R800000 as a result of the damage the flood caused his house.
Another Tynemouth Road resident, who has been staying there for over 27 years and prefers to remain anonymous, said the cause and solution of the flood needed to be sorted out.
