Another Thames Water Debacle for Chigwell

Gas and water works taking place by Chigwell Hall on the High Road.

I have received news that Thames Water have had another leak today and are repairing burst pipes along the High Road, Chigwell.  Residents of High Mead Chigwell were first alerted to the concern when they noticed a reduction in their gas supply.  

Please sign our petition (here)

Initially people in homes in the area noticed a reduction in gas feeding into their stoves, cookers and central heating. After many had forked out the costs to have a Gas Safety engineer check their pipes and boilers, they discovered that their gas supply boxes had been submerged in deep water resulting in poor performance and loss of gas.

Calls to Thames Water then revealed that the flooding was due to a burst mains pipe on Chigwell, High Road.  

Epping Forest District Cllr Brian Sandler has informed Wilson Chowdhry today, that he has seen a regular pattern of repairs and leaks that seem quite cyclical across Chigwell. Mr Chowdhry during his two years in Chigwell has noticed leaks recurring in three places, Abridge road, Manford Way and Hainault Road.

Each burst pipe takes several days to repair causing huge traffic issues, in addition to the significant loss of a valuable resource. Furthermore, the water does untold damage to the surface and depths of our roads, to the properties of Chigwell residents during this latest debacle and health and hygiene issues.

We again ask people to sign our petition calling for Thames to make good this ongoing problem, with a permanent solution.  If replacing the entire old Iron/Lead pipe network with plastic/PVC pipes is the solution then this must be introduced, immediately.

Only last week we reported the Thames water flooding and listed the last water outages in Chigwell Row and yet nothing seems to change.  Please sign our petition (here)

Justice Unveiled: Preliminary Proceedings in the Hainault Sword Attack Trial

Image
During a brief preliminary hearing at the Old Bailey concerning the tragic 5-person sword attack in Hainault resulting in the death of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, it was decided that a full trial would convene on February 3, 2025. Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, the defendant, was escorted into the courtroom by a police officer and court official, appearing aloof and distant behind a partition of glass. In a peculiar moment, he fixed a menacing gaze upon me for approximately two minutes, a futile attempt at intimidation given his confined circumstances. The prosecution outlined the case, detailing the attack on 5 individuals, which began with a collision with an unidentified person and escalated to the wielding of a sword. When confronted by the victim, Mr. Monzo callously retorted, 'I don't care, I'll kill you anyway,' before assaulting him.
