The BBC has released the following update:

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.

There are currently three vacant seats for Hadnall and the parish council will have the opportunity to co-opt to fill these seats at the May meeting. If you are interested, please get in touch for an informal chat about what the role entails. Just contact the Clerk or any of the new or retiring councillors. 

Following a meeting in Hadnall with parish councillors and residents affected by flooding, Helen Morgan MP raised a formal debate in Parliament, ‘Role of water companies in new housing development planning’, on 12th March, referencing many of Hadnall’s issues.
