Berrylands pong sufferers urged to call Thames Water.

Last months meeting between Kingston councillors and Thames Water has prompted local MP Edward Davey to urge Berrylands residents to contact the water companies customer support number whenever there's a bad smell.

Davey states that the company has a duty to act on sufficient number of localised complaints saying, 'We need to win the case for extra investment, so if we as a community give Thames Water full details of the date, time and duration of any odours, we can enhance the chances of a solution to this long-standing problem.'
