Wiltshire Council wants to work with industry bosses to reduce storm overflows.

Flooding in Wiltshire has made the issue of storm overflows more prominentWiltshire Council has asked water firm chiefs to attend a meeting about how they plan to improve the county's rivers and sewage systems."It was a great shock. We have neighbours here for 40 years who have never experienced it."

Ms Rees said everything was "ruined" in her living area following the floods, she added: "It really caught us out. We've never had this before."Wessex Water has previously met with the council to discuss plans on storm overflows. Councillor Robert McNaughton put forward a motion at a full council meeting on Tuesday, October 15, which expressed "disappointment" at the water industry for not preventing sewage overflows.
