Shrewsbury's MP has expressed his "deep concern" over councillors' "public statements and misinformation" over pollution in the River Severn.Flooding minister Rebecca Pow meeting Mark Barrow, from the River Severn Partnership, and Shrewsbury & Atcham MP Daniel Kawczynski
He applauded the work of the River Severn Partnership and says he has worked closely with them to secure Government funding"to find a holistic solution to managing this river". In his letter Mr Kawczynski says:"I am deeply concerned by some of your councillors' public statements and the misinformation they are giving to constituents.
"I can assure you that the Government is tackling the problem of sewage in rivers with tough and effective new measures." Defenders of the Government say that fixing problems in Shrewsbury's Victorian sewerage system immediately would be hugely costly to taxpayers and people who pay the water bills, as well as being massively disruptive as they would have to dig up streets around the town's central loop.
“This is a meeting focussed on the local problems identified in our original motion and is about helping residents gain a greater understanding of the issues involved, whilst voicing any concerns they may have and playing their part in the development of potential solutions."I think I share some reservations as it seems that we have a serious and growing problem and we must ensure that actions are not ‘too little, too late'.
