| Good luck with that Neil. Let us know if you manage to get answers to all your questions from TW. You'd better double check each answer as we've been given different answers to the same questions sometimes. The consultation was outsourced by TW, so they're not always au fait with things. We're all in favour of cleaning up the River, but when TW mistakes a residential estate with 2000 people living there for an industrial one (they didn't bother come to physically look at the area until last week) then you have a problem. And then they don't tell us what other options they've looked at and the reasons they've rejected them. Plus it's not going to be a sewer exactly - more like giant cesspits which will be emptied 4 times a year, maybe 8 times a year if there's heavy rainfall. And there will still be overflow into the River! With the increase in building work that Wandsworth wants to do we really have to hang on to every bit of green land we can. So thank goodness some people are putting a lot of work into trying to find out what's going on. If they hadn't, we probably wouldn't know anything about it until we woke up one morning to find work had begun. And it's too late then, isn't it? Thames Water weren't the ones to leaflet the residents, were they? With Thames Water's own questionnaire too! I personally think it's fantastic that there's a group of people taking a stand. After all, WE are going to be paying for this and are going to have all the inconvenience, pollution and goodness knows what. PLEASE share with us all the information you do manage to find that you think makes this all alright. Thanks Neil |
