| Hear hear Claire. In my opinion it was essential that Thames Water, our Councillors and Justine Greening staff were made fully aware of the strength of feeling and opposition to current plans. Given the vast number of people who attended it is only natural that the odd one or two get very emotional. These are people's homes and environment after all. What was surprising is that only Thamesfield Councillors attended given the Borough wide implications of this scheme. Tonights meeting will of course have a very different tone as everyone will want to hear Justine's views and position. I do hope that Justine and indeed our Councillors understand that they are elected to represent their constituents views otherwise the comments by the retired Royal Navy Commander at the last meeting that none will be re-elected are likely to come to pass. They organised and represented our views effectively in relation to the third runway at Heathrow - lets hope they do so again. |
