Public Question time: 20 members of public were in attendance.
Resident from Doveleat represented many in attendance and outlined their objections to application P17/S2324/O
Resident expressed her concern with regard to current developments and the increased volume of sewage which will go through the pumping station at Mill Lane. Residents are already experiencing problems with raw sewage when the pump is unable to cope. Although a Grampian order is in place this does not include any pumping station upgrade. Apparently Thames Water has undertaken a Sewage Impact Study but this has not been made available to the residents or SODC. Help with obtaining information and clarification is required.
Brian Fagan addressed the committee with regard to forming a Traffic sub committee as per the email that has been sent to all councillors.
