Severn Trent Improvements - 2027

Severn Trent is planning improvements to water supply resilience from Shelton north and has asked us to circulate the below and attached information.

We are further told:

While the communities identified (north Battlefield & Broadoak, Preston Gubbals and Sansaw Heath) are directly linked to the project, the wider aim of the scheme is to improve water supplies across Severn Trent's Wem to Whitchurch Control Group. This is the water supply network that serves these communities and many others across this North Shropshire Region.

The project will bring additional water into the network, helping to replace some existing supplies that are being reduced, while also making the overall water supply more reliable and resilient for the future.

The pipeline route is roughly 80% finalised. Severn Trent are currently looking at ways to mitigate community disruption through some of the more challenging locations which is the final 20% as we head north towards Grinshill. Once the pipeline route is finalised this will be shared.

Severn Trent will likely be starting to engage early 2027, ready for the start of construction start in late spring 2027.

Further information will be shared as available.
