Alex is aware of data suggesting there was an increase in sewage spills near Dunkerton’s in January 2023. After investigating and seeking urgent talks with Severn Trent, Alex is able to report the following:
- The January 2023 spike in spills was due to an upstream blockage, which was cleared
- January 2023 was BEFORE the major new *£0.5m engineering project* which Alex secured to address the spills was installed over the summer
- The latest data shows that the engineering solution is working, and has delivered a massive reduction in spills at the Dunkerton's site!
- After decades during which the issue was not addressed, this means a cleaner, greener River Chelt for all.
