Plans could tackle sewage pollution in Dursley stream

RESIDENTS in Dursley have welcomed government plans which could help to tackle sewage pollution in one of the town’s streams. Concerns have been raised over a number of years about sewage being released into the stream at Water Street during heavy rain. One resident, who has been looking into this for the past three years, said he has been reporting between nine and 11 pollution incidents a year to the Severn Trent water company. Dursley councillors Peter Hayes (town) and Loraine Patrick (town and county) have also been looking into this. Cllr Hayes explained: “During heavy rain the sewer pressure lifts the manhole covers, resulting in the flowing of sewage into the steam.

Two Dursley roads set to close for resurfacing works

May Lane and Hill Road in Dursley are set to benefit from a brand new road surface. The work will take place over three days between Monday, January 11 and Wednesday, January 13, from 9.30am to 3.30pm, while highways crews replace the surface. An official diversion route will be in place, which will be signposted and is suitable for all vehicles that would normally use the road. Cllr Vernon Smith, cabinet member for highways, said: “We are committed to replacing surfaces like this as part of our £150 million investment in the county’s highways network. We know it will be inconvenient but we are doing the work outside of peak hours to help minimise any disruption.”
