The recent sewage treatment spills in Colwall, amounting to 1,756 hours in 2021 and 1,361 hours in 2022, have raised concerns about environmental permits and water pollution.
Chris Blake, from the Colwall Orchard Group, laments the loss of the clear waters he enjoyed as a child, expressing worries over the pollution degrading the beauty and biodiversity of the area.
Severn Trent Water faced criticism for its handling of sewage spills; a recent blockage at Colwall caused sewage to flow into roads and fields, alarming local residents.
The analysis by Windrush Against Sewage Pollution indicates that Severn Trent Water may have breached environmental permits, with 72 unlawful spills recorded over two years.
