If you are out tonight with pubs and restaurants reopening a plea please.


Enjoy yourself but remember unfortunately the pandemic hasn?t gone away. Please practice social distancing and follow any instructions from staff.


For me one of the most worrying things is that I could be carrying the virus but feel totally ok and pass it on unknowingly. If you get it and get mild symptoms you might be ok but we probably all know of someone that would be at higher risk if they caught it so if you think the restrictions are a bit over the top please think you are doing this for those more vulnerable than you.


Particularly don?t ?shoot the messenger?. The person telling you to step back / wait will be telling you either what the government or their boss says. We all know the government isn?t always right and who hasn?t disagreed or not been 100% in agreement with something their boss has said to do? The person telling you to step back / wait has been in lockdown too. Be polite, be kind and do what they ask - it might not be what you think should be done but does anyone have all the answers on the virus? Not that I?ve seen.

    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
