    East Dean Steady progress was maintained with the construction of new works at Crump Meadow. These will treat the sewer from Drybrook and part of Cinderford and thus reduce the load on the Soudley works. Lydney Rural Good progress was made with the Tidenham Scheme and plans were being made to treat the sewage of Lydney Town. Infiltration into the sewers at Alvington and Woolaston reduced the efficiency of the works serving these parishes. North Cotswold Rural The sewering of Lower Slaughter and the relaying of defective and inadequate sewers in Bourton-on- the-Water was completed. The scheme for the sewering of Ebrington was commenced as was the extension of the works at Chipping Campden. Northleach Rural The scheme at Sherborne started and is expected to be completed by mid 1967. Sodbury Rural The Frenchay scheme commenced in November was scheduled for completion in March, 1967. It will serve 85 properties at an estimated cost of £10,500. The Hawkesbury, Upton and Horton scheme designed to serve 353 properties at an estimated cost of £135,072 was commenced in April. Tetbury Rural The relaying of defective sewers in Tetbury was completed. A start was made on the provision of a separate surface water sewerage system in the centre of Tetbury and some 340 yards of nine inch surface water sewer was laid. Good progress was made on the new scheme for Didmarton and Leighterton including a combined disposal works at Didmarton. 840 yards of new sewers were laid in Tetbury and Avening in connection with housing schemes. Warmley Rural The new trunk sewer to serve the Warmley District is proceeding satisfactorily and has now reached Hencliffe Woods near the Chequers. It is expected that 5! miles of sewer will be completed and serving the south portion of the district by the end of 1968. West Dean Coleford and parts of the Broadwell ward are sewered to the Newland works. Lydbrook also is sewered. The scheme to sewer Bream, Whitecroft, Parkend, Pillowell and Yorkley was being prepared. Milkwall, Clearwell and Newland also need to be sewered.
