Simon / Sarah Cllr Barbara Reid, Lead Member for Environment, has contacted me to advise she will definitely attend the Mogden Residents Liaison meeting with Thames Water. This is good news as she will be in a position to apprise Mary of the current situation which is clearly unacceptable to this community. Whilst Thames Water are confident the project will complete on schedule (August 2008) it is our view that, based on information to hand, completion of the project will not necessarily have improved the situation significantly. With only 10 months to go, and much of the £42 million (public money) having been spent, the Council has to prepare itself for the possibility that the schedule of works, accepted and agreed by the Council, will fail to produce the results this community has waited for for over a decade.
