Aylesbury MP Rob Butler has demanded a meeting with Thames Water to discuss the construction of a new pumping station near the village of Buckland.
The MP visited the proposed site on Friday, 19th January, to hear firsthand from Buckland Parish Council their concerns about the location of the scheme. Rob saw an alternative site proposed by the Parish Council.
Following the visit, Rob said: “I'm extremely concerned about Thames Water's plan for a booster station right next to cottages in Buckland. Unsurprisingly, hundreds of residents oppose it. I visited the proposed site with Buckland Parish Council and saw for myself how totally unsuitable it is. The Parish Council has an alternative proposal that makes far more sense, should cost less, and would be far better for the local community. It's even in the very same field! I want Thames Water to explain why they refuse to listen to common sense”
