​​Latest update (May 2025): 

  • A community drop-in event with Severn Trent Water was recently held with around 100 attendees.

  • Key aims include separating surface water from foul water systems and upgrading the pumping station.

  • Rising main rehabilitation is planned and may extend to Battlefield, pending further testing and planning.

  • Work is expected to begin in the New Year, with a dedicated team and communications support to inform residents.

  • Ongoing investigations are assessing the water catchment, including potential issues with pressure spikes and system leaks.

  • Surveys include private drainage checks, pond analysis, and scoping for non-return valves and protection devices.

  • Severn Trent is planning that the infrastructure improvements will accommodate future growth. 

  • Shropshire Council and the parish council are actively involved, with an upcoming update meeting to be held by SC Flooding Officer John Bellis.
