Although LBH didn't want to hand them over, Cllr Andrew Dakers forced it out of them and them over. Its good comedy and shows up a bunch of inept Tories and a useless Chair of SDC and a Tory Lead Member for Environment who couldn't snuggle up any closer to the Thames Water Director.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837262994617763803.post-69939841218231841902011-12-17T08:38:47.543+00:002011-12-17T08:38:47.543+00:00ICG were mugs to ever expect any support from the ...ICG were mugs to ever expect any support from the Tories on the SDC. Both major parties locally and the council department in Thames Water's pocket, Thames Water even heard boasting about the fact.

So the chief officers at Hounslow and their gormless SDC have screwed the residents over well and truly.<br /><br />Now Thames can continue to ignore the odour problem knowing that Hounslow officers have no intention of holding them to account and residents cannot launch another no win, no fee action due to impending government legislation effectively taking away the rights of the small claimant.<br /><br />However there are some caveats, one being that if they were to continue being negligent and disregarding the local community it would be open to any resident with personal means (and there must be some somewhere) to take a private action against Thames, and with this case as a precedent winning such an action would be close to assured.Phil Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980051462920249189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837262994617763803.post-27073682004567739872011-12-12T13:15:35.951+00:002011-12-12T13:15:35.951+00:00Makes the SDC's capitulation all the more gall...Makes the SDC's capitulation all the more galling, doesn't it ?<br /> <br />With this high court verdict pending, they surely had good enough grounds to defer the application to expand, how ever long it took.<br /> <br />Waiving the plan through regardless defied all logic.<br /> <br />TW got their own way without having to put their house in order first.Betrayednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837262994617763803.post-34244070674980896282011-12-12T01:09:00.495+00:002011-12-12T01:09:00.495+00:00you are clever enough to figure this out by yourse...you are clever enough to figure this out by yourself good night <br /><br />Ps...anyway nice article and well writtenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837262994617763803.post-34171071878843516662011-12-12T01:01:57.985+00:002011-12-12T01:01:57.985+00:00Even weirder logic I'm afraid.
