On the subject of Downham, I just spoke (finally) to my mate Will from Green Work Force about the drains at Downham. He says that as it is likely that they are silted up, at the very least it will require rods (which he doesn't carry as rods are too bulky for the bike he uses), but the silt probably won't be shifted by anything less than a full jet job. He estimates that this is likely to cost low hundreds, if we were to get to use a private contractor like Dynorod.
His advice is to keep hassling the council. I know that someone did write or phone the council, but maybe it's time for us all to write the council, or at least all the Hackney borough residents.
