Action will be taken in a Shropshire village to reduce the risk of flooding.

It follows serious flash flooding in Hadnall last autumn and winter which prompted Severn Trent to carry out "detailed investigations into the local sewer systems".

People living in the village had previously complained of sewage coming up through drains and entering their homes, gardens and streets.

​​Latest update (May 2025): 

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

• The Hadnall project has been approved by the Severn Trent Programme Board. This is great news, as it is now not a matter of if but when the work will go ahead. 

• 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.
