flag A Wedmore resident criticizes WCI Group’s stalled septic upgrades, delayed over 18 months due to council backlog and policy changes, leaving 650 homes waiting.

flag A Wedmore resident has criticized WCI Group’s septic tank replacement scheme for over 18 months of delays, with no resolution despite applying in August 2024. flag The project, tied to a phosphate credit system for housing development, is stalled due to Somerset Council’s planning backlog and policy shifts. flag The council paused third-party upgrades, redirecting a £9.6 million Local Nutrient Mitigation Fund to biodiversity projects. flag While allowing deferred phosphate mitigation, the council says it is not responsible for WCI Group’s delays, citing uncertain demand and financial risks. flag Over 650 properties remain on the waiting list, with WCI urging reconsideration of fund use to restart upgrades and support housing and environmental goals.
