Motions

Thames Water
Councillor Debs Absolom to move:
This Council notes with concern the number of times that Thames Water have disrupted local roads and pavements over recent months, particularly where this has been in the same or very nearby locations.
Whilst understanding that Thames Water need to carry out both emergency repairs and also planned upgrades of their infrastructure, this Council believes this work could be better coordinated and communicated to the public.
The recent problems which caused low water pressure and even no water supply in West Reading have also increased concern that more disruption may be planned.
This Council therefore resolves to ask the Director of Environment and Neighbourhood Services to write to Thames Water inviting them to meet with relevant councillors and officers to discuss their programme of planned works and a communication strategy with local residents.
