Environment Minister Therese Coffey on a visit to Shrewsbury
Asked about the latest figures Ms Coffey told the Shropshire Star the government is working to address the problem, but it cannot be fixed overnight. She said: “It is not good enough, it is not acceptable, that is why we are striving to make a difference – and last year we got in place this new storm overflow reduction plan. That in itself will take tens of millions of pounds and will take some time.
