More camera work and root cutting in our sewers

Severn Trent contractors are again in Puckshole and surrounding area. One of the Ruscombe Brook Action Group members spoke to them - apparently they have been working down the sewer and have again found joint erosion and root in-growth.

The view of the guy in charge was that STW could not expect to do root-cutting on such a regular basis and were therefore putting together the case for re-lining of the sewer, which would, in his opinion, "fix the problem".

I was on the understanding that they had already put a case together - but maybe this is more evidence - at least they are being proactive - and no known major incidents of sewage escaping into the brook for many months now.
