Morning, @thameswater.bsky.social can't help but notice that your EDM monitoring at Horley (Surrey) STW isn't working & hasn't been working for several weeks - please can it be fixed?
#Horley
The evidence shows that despite an upgrade at #Merstham Sewage Treatment Works (completed in March) phosphate levels remain high in neighbouring #Redhill Brook & the river health of the Brook remains poor

@thameswater.bsky.social what’s going on?

In Dec23 & Jan24 #Banstead Woods was the site of serious #sewage pollution caused in part because of blockages in their system

Earlier this month Thames Water appeared before the Overview & Scrutiny Committee at the Borough Council to explain how they're planning on preventing a repeat incident

It cannot be right that the government is still hounding carers for repayments, long after this scandal was exposed and even after we secured an independent review, but before it has been put right.

The government must pause repayments and get on with fixing the system so it works for carers.

The latest news we have on the cycle path flooding saga is that Surrey County Council are hopeful of commencing initial ditch clearance works before the end of the year.

This won’t unfortunately completely solve the issue but will alleviate some of the #flooding
Unlike some party’s candidates ours was out in the sunshine at the weekend knocking on doors & talking to residents ahead of the Meadvale & St.John’s By-election this Thursday (16th October)

Vote for a local champion, Vote for Mark Johnston @markjohnston.bsky.social #VoteLibDem

We will stand strong where others back down. We will not pander to Reform.

We will fight to protect our environment, stand up for decency and the rule of law, and stop Trump’s America from becoming Farage’s Britain.

If you share those values, now is the time to join the Liberal Democrats.

Oh dear 👇
It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

If you feel abandoned by the Conservative party’s lurch to the extremes: you have a home with us.

The Liberal Democrats will always fight to defend our fundamental British freedoms and the rule of law.

Kemi Badenoch has chosen the side of Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage with her plan to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

The ECHR is a proud British creation, championed by Churchill, that protects everyone's rights and freedoms.

"The Conservatives made a total mess of protest laws and left us with the worst of all worlds – wasting police time arresting people for legitimate peaceful protest, while letting others get away with inciting violence. I fear Labour seem to be following them down the same path"

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests
The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.

People spreading antisemitic hate and inciting violence against Jews are getting away with it.

We fear the government’s approach will do nothing to tackle that while undermining the fundamental right to peaceful protest.
In Meadvale & St.John’s It’s a choice between @libdems.org.uk Mark or another Tory on October 16th

Don’t risk letting the Tories back in. Vote 🗳️ for local champion Mark Johnston @markjohnston.bsky.social
