Dorset residents concerns as sewer water is pumped into Cerne Abbas stream

“I feel that this business of depositing raw sewage in watercourses has become the new norm,” he said.

“It is an indicator of two things. One is the increased rainfall from climate change and the increase in the population in the village.

“But it is also an indication that our drainage infrastructure is not fit for purpose.”

Helen Brown, a parish councillor and flood warden, said drainage issues had become a regular occurrence.

She said: “What happens is we get these poo fountains shooting up in the street and in people’s houses. It’s becoming an annual event.

“People need to take notice of this because we’ve got more housing coming along and Dorset Council has made this a development area.”
