Sewer in The Green and Church Street, Theale, being surveyed

Contractors were surveying the sewer in The Green and Church Street, Theale, yesterday. This is being done on behalf of Thames Water to discover why the pumping station at the corner of Lambfields and Church Street gets overwhelmed after periods of heavy rain.

The sewer has to be pumped out by tankers when this happens and this causes major disturbance to local residents. After pressure by me and our MP, the tankering was replaced by an additional temporary pump this winter and spring.
