Sewage Proposals

Bridgnorth District Council has proposed changes to the
contracts of some 120 properties in the Bridgnorth district (at least 2 of
them in Station Road Highley), with regard to sewage services. In essence
these changes aim to recoup the actual annual maintenance cost AND to pay
the full cost of Improvement works to their systems - by charging those
houses on the systems.
