Send a Bowser, you miserable bunch!
Pictured below is the Polytunnel at Bramley’s Gosden House School, burgeoning with plants.
The school’s motto Growing lives, building futures.
Months of work are about to be ruined by the water shortage in the eastern village caused by a petrol leak at the village garage.
The nifty whiff of scandal hangs over the Great Bramley stink saga
A school spokesperson has told the Waverley Web that the water pollution prompted by the 8-week remedial works planned at the Asda Garage near the school means that pupils there can no longer water their precious plants until the tap water problem is solved.
Thames Water’s response is to use bottled water! What a ridiculous suggestion that is. How can environmentally friendly Gosden House pupils possibly contemplate using thousands of water-filled plastic bottles? So far, the tiny bottles delivered to the school are inadequate for pupils’ needs, let alone supplying animals and crops!
Unless the school gets a decent supply of water within the next few days, TW will receive a bill for compensation for the loss as plants continue to die.
Sad and angry is an understatement.
Cranleigh and Waverley Cllr Liz Townsend has urged Thames Water to step up and help!
Gosden House is an outstanding school for young people with learning and additional needs from 4 to 16 years of age. Set on extensive grounds, the environment offers students the opportunity to explore and challenge the potential of learners in every aspect. The curriculum has a strong focus on core learning skills and communication. It aims to develop resilience, creativity, and social skills to support young people in succeeding in the workplace and living rewarding, independent lives.
This is shambolic on so many, many levels. I can confirm that the 24/7 promise of Thames Water engineers working to get things sorted, is just a lie. at 6.04am and 6.41am this morning I drove past in both directions, and as is usual with road works, not a damn worker in site anywhere…. really good job they used those sound deadening boards to prevent the noise from the 24/7 remedial construction works being undertaken…. even at that time, there was a wait at the lights with 5+ cars in each direction… I dread to think what this sham will look like later in the morning traffic.
