“A meaningless promise. What are they going to do with the sewage, put it in their back gardens ? The solution requires every premises to have two separate drainage systems. One for waste water and sewage and another for rain run off. This will take years and require big spending.”
Where we used to live in the NE of England new housing estates were beginning to have rainwater catchment ponds for run off which would presumably slowly drain into the surrounding soil. But these would be a very small remedy in a long established area of many houses, commercial premises and industry.

“We get our groceries weekly by the Tesco delivery. We have a local butcher that does deliveries – there is also a fish and vegetable van. The Pharmacy also delivers prescriptions but not purchases, and the window cleaner comes round too. And the wheelie bin truck !
I wish the Coop would deliver too.”
