A Message from Thames Valley Police and Cherwell District Council

TARGETING SUMMERTIME ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR Cherwell District Council and Thames Valley Police have joined forces over the summer to combat noise complaints and antisocial behaviour through Operation Jazz.

Hunt for Sewage Pumping Stations

Thames Water is appealing to customers to help identify privately owned sewage pumping stations. Thames Water will take responsibility for around 4,000 pumping in October 2016, but needs to track down 1,800 currently off its radar.
