On the 1st August I wrote the Council the following .
Can any claims by local shop keepers be made against these private companys for losses already sustained ? and should not this be led by the council? who after all collects the business rates.
On the 6th August the following press statement was made by the Council.
There are clearly a large number of questions to be answered by Network Rail and Thames Water in relation to what has happened on this project. I am arranging a meeting with Network Rail when I will be seeking assurances about their future plans, about how and when they will be communicating these plans and specifically about the potential for compensation payments to be made to businesses in the immediate area. It is for Network Rail to manage their PR on this but I will leave them in no doubt as to our deep disappointment and dissatisfaction with the way they have managed this. For the longer term we will need substantial reassurance on behalf of our residents about the basis on which they return to site.
Nice to see such quick responce from the council to my request
