Just so you guys know, I got this update from Thames Water yesterday afternoon (unfortunately after our paper went to the printers!)....


Work is scheduled to end on 5/9/10 and NOT 24 Sept as BBC are reporting.

"We are working on a collapsed sewer under the road.

"Due to the collapse, the soil under the road has drained away, leaving a
large cavity.

"We have had to fill this cavity with concrete to make it safe for our
engineers to work. The concrete was left to set over night and work began
again this morning.

"We will be working 24/7 where necessary to get this work completed and the
road re-opened.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience caused."


Street party sounds good, if anybody takes any pictures email them over to me (michael.stringer@slp.co.uk) and John (john.hugill@slp.co.uk) and we'll see if we can get it in the paper...
