As Thames Water region MPs, we are writing to ask you to say no to the deal put forward by Thames Water’s creditors. New polling carried out by Survation has revealed that the majority (54%) of Thames Water’s customers - including constituents we represent - believe that Ofwat should reject the deal, and put Thames Water into special administration [1].

Vulnerable Windsor residents who were left without water for four days are frustrated at how Thames Water has handled the problem. The Express understands that Thames Water turned off the water after discovering a large leak under a private driveway, affecting water supply to eight properties. Because it is a ‘private-side issue’, Thames Water advised residents to contact a plumber for this so the water supply can be restored. Residents remained without water until Monday and expressed their frustration that Thames Water were ‘not dealing with it’. It should still take ‘reasonable steps’ to restore the supply and provide alternatives, such as bottled water, if the supply is interrupted for an extended period.

After chaotic and brutal scenes at a Sydney rally opposing Israeli president Isaac Herzog’s visit, assistant police commissioner Peter McKenna accused the speakers at the rally of 'inciting the crowd to march'. 'It was really something that was quite inflammatory,' he said. 'In fact, it got to the point that I believe the crowd really took part in some type of contagion of group think.'

Councillors zeroed in on the Government’s updates to the so-called ‘golden rules’, intended to increase the community benefit of new housing schemes on greenbelt land. But during a long discussion last Tuesday, Buckinghamshire councillors said they felt the proposal failed to satisfy the golden rules. The Government amended these last year, upping the amount of affordable housing on major housing developments. The golden rules also cover infrastructure and publicly accessible green space.
