Thames Water - dug up beautiful bricks....replaced with cement.

I guess I just can't fathom why replacing 5 ugly grey bricks with some smooth grey concrete should have absolutely any effect on you being happy at home with your family. I would have thought it's your family and your home that does that.

I'm out!

It's fox poo and it's already gone. Remember the service charge I pay, they come round daily to clean. Mainly because they are trying to sell more on this plot.

The housing developer is already kicking up a fuss and I didn't even have to prod. I highlighted it, they looked at it while I was at work and found it as appealing as I did. To quote him 'all he had to do was dig around the vertical pipe, remove it, make his changes and put it back. It's not as if he had to recreate the Sistine Chapel'

They are taking it up with Thames Water.



I don't know about you but I think that most people will rank being happy at home and with the family to be pretty high on the list. Buying a new build in London and having thames water dig and cement right outside your front door months after laying the pipework isn't acceptable.

This is probably where i'll spend the rest of my life, why should I settle for it :confused:

Did you kick off about all the weeds growing through the gaps in the slabs too?

I guess it's quite unfathomable when people have higher standards than you. It's a fair place to be.
 
have you asked your neighbours for their opinion- they're also on the ground. ?

[ he meant 'perceived higher standards' .. 'It's a fair place to be.' didn't parse ?]

take another pic looking down the length of the path when the cement has dried properly. i'm curious how the cement dries in colour wise.

Needs to be done, although it is probably significantly less noticeable now, and far less worth causing drama about
 
I guess it's quite unfathomable when people have higher standards than you. It's a fair place to be perceived.

Jeesh, is it that difficult??

To be perceived, I guess it's quite perceivably unfathomable when people have higher perceived standards than you. It's to be a fair place to be perceived.

(need to open my eyes but ..) so yourself+neighbours also have the daily 22KWhr unexplained electricity use -
I think that might be pre-occupying myself, with the management company, for these new builds.
