Bully boy tactics by Severn trent

With Bramley Parish Council being against this and the residents and allotment owners of Wadsworth Road and Coquet Avenue, it's clear that Severn Trent Water hasn't taken their concerns and opinions on board and ploughed on regardless.

Even the allotments and Mr and Mrs Suter's garden on Coquet Avenue is to be mashed up during Severn Trent's operation.

With Bramley Parish Council not being able to challenge this as legislation under the Water iIndustries Act allows big private firms like Severn Trent todig up and lay sewerage wherever they like.

I think it is high time we review this so that big private firms can't carry on overruling communities' proposals.

Frankly, the people of Bramley deserve to be treated better.
