You couldn’t make it up – really, you couldn’t. Not one – but now two public meetings.

Waverley Council intends to hold a public meeting on December 8, at which Thames Water officials and others will be held accountable for a major incident of water outages.

Within days of the announcement, MP Jeremy Hunt called another public meeting! But No date.

In November, homes in Waverley and Guildford were left without water again, and thousands of residents, including us here at the WW,  were left hapless, hopeless and waterless as we struggled to flush our loos and fill our kettles. We contributed to the traffic chaos that gridlocked our towns and villages in a bid to obtain bottled water supplies.

Waverley Council will host a public meeting on water outages on December 8.

As Chancellor Jeremy is on first-name terms with the head honcho of Thames Water and has her on speed dial, no doubt his public meeting will be a high-powered affair. So that he can boast,  my public meeting was better than your public meeting.

Ah, well – boys will be boys!
