A thread 🧵/1 Ofwat consultation about Thames Water 💧 - deadline Friday 16 August 2024 The water regulator Ofwat has announced a public consultation, proposing four ‘undertakings’ for Thames Water to meet as a result of their most recent financial problems.

🧵/2 Ofwat consultation closes 5pm, Friday 16 August - supporters of SOLAR should provide their own individual responses. We welcome Ofwat’s proposal + will take the opportunity to comment on TDRA scheme, highlighting how it represents poor value for money...

I'm a avid & adventurous reader with a need for narrative. I've loved contrasting #SharonPenman 's historical telling of C12th Welsh history (teaching stuff I never learnt!) to Cartin Dafydd's more recent C20 Welsh tales of life in the valleys. More gritty, but equally lovely
