The pumping station rigged in the village centre Fears of overflowing sewage have prompted dozens of objections against plans to build 32 houses in the village of Aldbourne. The development is earmarked for Lottage Farm, so would see agricultural land being built, effectively extending the village boundary. “How is it going to manage with more houses?” said resident Margaret Alexander. “The Square is a disgrace with pumps filling the parking spaces since before Christmas and with no signs of them being moved away. I appreciate that homes are needed but surely the sewage facilities should be adequate for the houses already built before adding to the number.”
