00:00Are we good?
00:02Can I come in please?
00:04You said by the end that there's still space
00:06I will just double check
00:08Yes
00:10That will alter that
00:12Can I just ask if we're allowed in?
00:18And if not, is it a closed event?
00:20I'll just get an answer for you
00:22Thank you
00:30Come in, you said?
00:32No, I didn't
00:34Are you saying that there's no one allowed in?
00:36There's a lock outside, I'll let you in the side door
00:38Sorry, could you just answer our question?
00:40If we're writing you national news, we're hoping to...
00:42Apparently there are tens of thousands of valves
00:44which exist within the countryside around here
00:46which we are not able to obtain any information about
00:48It's quite clear to me that
00:50there's a lot of information
00:52that we're not able to get
00:54out of these valves
00:56and it's quite clear to me
00:58it's quite clear
01:00that the residents feel that they've been
01:02potentially lied to
01:04that information could have been deleted
01:06and there is difficulties in compensation
01:08I do appreciate that
01:10South West Water Archer are attempting
01:12to correct the situation
01:14and they are taking some action
01:16to do that, but overall
01:18I didn't feel
01:20I feel disappointed from the exercises
01:22How do you feel about Susan Davie?
01:24How do you feel about Susan Davie?
01:26Susan has been
01:28awarded a significant
01:30pay rise
01:32for what I would consider to be a foreseeable
01:34preventable accident
01:36in terms of this outbreak
01:38I would like to see that we definitely both
01:40learn from the lessons
01:42and that there should be some sort of
01:44post office stroke horizon
01:46inquiry to reveal the details
01:48and it was unfortunate that
01:50TV and press were not allowed inside
01:52I wouldn't trust them
01:54I don't drink the water, we buy bottled water
01:56I have so much water
01:58that has been given to customers
02:00because they don't trust them either
02:02and there was people not even in the meeting
02:04so as far as the meeting is concerned
02:06yes, a lot of questions
02:08were asked
02:10they already had the answers
02:12Did you ask the question yourself?
02:14No, I didn't
02:16That's fine
02:18That's it
02:20So Susan was very clear
02:22in the meeting that the buck stops with her
02:24and that she takes full responsibility for what happened
02:26so what I said in the room
02:28was that if the drinking water
02:30inspectorate investigation
02:32finds that the company were negligent
02:34around maintaining
02:36their asset or if
02:38there were things that they should have done that they
02:40didn't do which caused this infection
02:42then I think she has to take responsibility
02:44for that
02:46And resign?
02:48That would be the appropriate thing to do
02:50if it's found that the water company took fault
02:52But you're not actually calling for her resignation now?
02:54Not tonight, I want to see the result of the
02:56investigation because I want the full
02:58picture of exactly what happened
