This critical aquifer area, and nearby water pumping station, helps supply water to over 116,000 households in the city. The plans risk water contamination, further flooding and drinking water shortages.

Stopping the sewage problems is a key policy of the Lib Dems in the general election and in Patcham sewage has been found flooding the streets, causing a health hazard for children and other residents.

Royal Mail’s plans will exacerbate existing problems with sewage in the area and the Liberal Democrats are committed to supporting the campaign to prevent this.
