| >Paul (1) My councillors Rai and Shaw before the last election wrote,"Vote for me to represent you." On this issue they have been silent; no representation, no sugeries and no Ward Forums.... just an unsigned sheet from LBE talking about "repairing the damage done to the grass". You can email them as well you know. >(2) So how does it happen that fluids in a combined sewage system go anywhere but through that system. Please tell us the well documented cases in the Lammas Park area. You say it is a common problem. If so common why is this the first we have heard of it. As I stated how is this misconnection possible apart by the actions of the authorities. They are clearly not intending on putting raw sewage into the ponds, I guess they are fed from stormwater drains by a system that doesn't go near sewage. I saw the reason for the pollution in the pond was a misconnected property. There was a story recently about properties with their sewage outlet connected straight to the river for instance. I guess misconnections to sewage to storm drains can be a genuinie mistake or done on purpose to save money/time etc... (3) If misconnection is such a common problem in this area why was this not taken into account before any works began? Maybe it was? I don't know, image it's quite complex and might not rear it's head until you get a certain weather situation. (4) After a member of the public discovered E.coli in Lammas Park Thames Water investigated at the junction of Elers and Waldemar Ave. To my knowledge no one was arrested for illegal connections. Those investigations took place in the road so one assumes the misconnections were the actions of the authorities. Maybe, yeah, I guess it didn't have to be a misconnected home, although that's what I heard, and technially if there was sewage in the storm drain it would have been, even if the owners of the property or properties weren't aware. (5) Has what you call an important scheme been cancelled for it has now become a Wetland and not a flood eleviation scheme? The council was describing the top of lammas park as a "wetland" 15 years ago, because, it's a wet bit of land. Put lots of water in a place, e.g. SUDS, and you get wetland style nature. |
