Environmental campaigners say they are considering holding off on paying their water rates because of ongoing concerns about overflowing sewage on a footpath and pollution of the River Severn.
The move comes at a time when sewage pollution protesters have been raising awareness of the problems both locally and nationally.
"This leads to the footpath being strewn with human excrement, sanitary products, wet wipes and toilet paper as well as antibiotic-resistant bacteria and I understand that someone reported this problem as far back as 2011."The water bill for myself and my husband, Tim, is £450.60-a-year and I cancelled the direct debit in August last year and have held back £214.
A Severn Trent spokesman said:"We truly care about the health of rivers in Shrewsbury and have teams of people working hard every day to make improvements in the town. "We also have a Shrewsbury-based Severn Trent River Ranger who, along with our operational teams, pro-actively monitors the network and river health on a daily basis.
