A councillor says Telford & Wrekin Council has ‘stepped up to the plate’ to help solve a flooding problem near Newport.

The flooding in back gardens at Mulberry Close, in Church Aston , has been an issue rumbling on for 12 months and involved water from an overflowing mere lapping onto residential back gardens.

Severn Trent Water had been out on Wednesday (December 3) to carry out works but concluded that it is not responsible.

But a Severn Trent spokesperson added: “Our teams have been out with the council today and we’re currently looking at ways we can help and work together to resolve this issue quickly.”

Councillor Andrew Eade (Conservative, Church Aston and Lilleshall) had said the flooding had been caused by a “brick and tree stumps” blocking a pipe at Millwood Mere.
